The Short Version

I'm a queer author living in Brussels, turning my dating disasters into literature that hopefully saves you from repeating my mistakes.

My debut memoir "The Worst Boyfriends Ever" is a collection of 25 red-flag chronicles that reads like your group chat after someone asks "wait, what happened with that guy?"

When I'm not writing about romance gone wrong, I'm probably planning my next book, avoiding dating apps, or explaining to people that yes, Brussels has good coffee.

My Writing Philosophy

Honest, not polite. I write about dating like we actually experience it: messy, confusing, sometimes hilarious, often painful.

Queer experiences, universal feelings. While my stories come from a queer perspective, the feelings of hope, disappointment, and "what the hell was I thinking" translate across all identities.

Boundaries you can actually use. Every disaster taught me something. I share those lessons without the sanctimonious self-help tone.

My goal isn't to make dating perfect: it's to make you feel less alone in the chaos, and maybe laugh at some truly unhinged behavior along the way.

What Readers Say

"Finally, someone who writes about dating the way we actually talk about it with our friends. Brutally honest, wickedly funny, and surprisingly helpful."
