I am a writer from Natick, Massachusetts. After graduating from Yale University in 2007, I moved to Hunan, China, where I lived for two years. I studied in the Creative Writing M.F.A. program at Emerson College briefly before moving back to Hunan for another year. I now live in Oakland, CA. My debut novel, Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside, was published in 2015 by Inkshares.
