Hi, I’m Samantha, a writer at work in Southern California.

Read my article in the Huffington Post on Relationship OCD here.

My work is forthcoming in The Journal, Faultline and The Rambling.

Through the medium of personal essays and creative nonfiction, I explore the unspoken elements of our culture that are in conflict with our humanity, from our romanticization of violence to the politics of our sex lives to our tendency to glorify self-obsession. My work deals with themes of beauty, performativity, and attachment.
