︎ Writer
I’m a freelance journalist and essayist. I have eclectic interests and write about a range of topics including art, culture, lifestyle, and the immigrant experience. Some things I’ve written about include: Los Angeles, farmers markets, Russian-speaking banquet halls, immigrant nostalgia, useless bodies, relationships, friendship breakups, friendship coaches, shame, cockroaches, a dinner cruise, post-Soviet writers, what it means to be a good immigrant daughter, cheeky paintings of modern fairytales, and a queer cruising paradise. My essays have been featured in the LAist newsletter, New York Times newsletter, and in Memoir Monday. Check out more of my writing here.
