About Me

Most of my writing life has unfolded between shelves.

I work in a bookstore and a public library, two spaces where stories are constantly moving—checked out, returned, recommended, rediscovered. Being surrounded by readers every day has shaped how I think about writing. Stories aren’t just assignments or publications; they’re tools for connection, comfort, and curiosity.

I write across genres, from short fiction and poetry to multimedia features and news commentary. I’m drawn to stories about identity, change, and the quiet systems that shape people’s lives. Whether I’m creating a fictional world or reporting on educational issues, I try to write with clarity and empathy. I want my work to feel accessible—to invite people in rather than talk over them.

Working in library spaces has deepened my interest in public-facing writing: content that informs, supports, and welcomes. I’m especially interested in roles in libraries or publishing where writing helps connect people to resources, to ideas, and to each other.

This portfolio reflects that goal—and the belief that words matter most when they serve a community.
