I write creative nonfiction – essays, memoir, flash pieces, research-based articles – to explore and heal intergenerational trauma.
My primary audiences include generations of post-war Vietnamese: millennials like myself and Gen Z.
Currently I’m working on a full-length memoir manuscript about my family’s refugee experience with themes of home, belonging, loss, mental health, and psychological safety.
I hang out on Instagram.
