About
I am writer, primarily of fiction and short stories, but also professionally working in the communications, advertising, and marketing industries.
My fiction currently deals with themes of retribution, redemption, the alienated finding connections, love at the center of chaos and mayhem.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I currently work in Communications and Marketing for one of the top Health systems in the America. I’m working in a nice and plan to get it published with the connections I’ve made in graduate school.
- Graduate school interests
Making solid connections with writers who are my peers as well as well with my mentors. It was important for me to get to know the people teaching me, guiding my growth as a write, helping to make my writing have more meaning and come alive on the page. I didn’t feel I could trust a mentor who I didn’t know on some personal intimate level, with proper boundaries in place, of course. One should always respect the teacher/ student dynamics always understanding that a line in the sand does exist while there is the teacher/student dynamic.
