For the 4th Annual Lights! Camera! Autism! event in 2022 I wrote and sold two poems. One was called, "The Fashion Behind Dark Academia," and the second was "The Manic Pixie Dream Girl That They Once Called Me."

​In the fall of 2018, I started writing articles and opinion pieces for THE MIGHTY
The first piece I wrote was called “CASTING DISABLED ACTORS IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST INCLUSION” and it got published on The Mighty website on March 3, 2019.
The second piece was called "THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF ONLY HIRING DISABLED PEOPLE". It was posted as a thought on The Mighty website on November 4, 2019 ​​​​​In the Spring of 2020, I wrote an opinion piece titled "THE PROBLEM WITH SECOND CHANCE PROMS" where I talk about how going to a second chance prom after you have graduated from high school can't erase any prom horror stories you experienced during high school.
Others include "DOES LENT CONTRIBUTE TO EATING DISORDERS," "DISABILITY IS NOT A COSTUME," "DO BRACES AFFECT MENTAL HEALTH," "IMPROVING UPON ACCOMODATIONS AT SCHOOL," and "ARE THERE DOWNSIDES TO THERAPY".
