My first publication of 2022 is here! I can’t thank Juked Magazine enough for sharing my story “Sanctuary.

It’s by no means an autobiographical work—although I did meet some elephants when I was traveling around Thailand in early 2017. It wasn’t something I’d been planning on, but a few women at the hostel where I was staying convinced me to do it—and I’m so glad I did.

I hope you enjoy it!
