My published Master’s thesis explores how poetry, through literary semiotics and mimesis, fosters multifaceted meaning-making by positioning the reader as an active, central participant in an intimate and transformative reading process. It argues for the integration of poetry into communication-focused higher education as a non-hegemonic, dialogic alternative to traditional academic structures.

My debut poetry collection explores the evocative imagery of memory and the human experience of heartache, all meshing with the grit of womanhood.

In 2022, the “Don’t Forget Us” documentary crew recruited me as lead nonfiction and commentary writer for a multi-media tour of Holocaust concentration camps in Germany and Poland. A mixed media collection published this poem, conceived at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
