Hi! Thanks for visiting.

I'm a lawyer and writer. My work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, TODAY, NBC News, Salon, HuffPost and Newsweek, among others.

My middle-grade novel, THE BLUE DRESS, based on my childhood as an Iranian immigrant trying to conform to my family's expectations of beauty and fit into my American homeland, is coming out on March 24, 2026, from Farrar Straus Giroux.
