Born and raised in a small coastal town, this writer honed a keen sense for character, voice, and the rhythms of everyday life. After studying literature and art, they pursued a varied path that included journalism, screenwriting, and collaborative storytelling with others across different media. Their work often centers on ordinary people navigating complex decisions, with an emphasis on truth, empathy, and the small moments that reveal larger truths. They value quiet craft: careful revision, listening to feedback, and letting scenes breathe. Outside the page, they enjoy long walks, conversation with friends, and exploring archives for forgotten perspectives that illuminate present concerns. They continue to write with curiosity and restraint.
