I’m a researcher and writer who helps YouTube creators and podcasters tell accurate, compelling true crime, mystery, and history stories. I dig through court records, news archives, and public documents so you don’t have to, then turn everything into clear outlines and case files you can write from fast. My background includes criminology, sociology, and years of hands‑on genealogy and historical research, especially around unsolved cases, strange disappearances, and family histories. I’m detail‑oriented, sensitive to victims and families, and comfortable working with messy, conflicting sources. On Twine I offer: case research and data collection, story and episode outlines, script support, and light writing and editing. If you have a dark or mysterious story to tell, send me your brief and I’ll help you build the factual backbone. In addition to research and writing, I offer thoughtful feedback on games. I combine a strong eye for color and UI/UX with hundreds of hours of cross‑platform play, focusing on clarity, usability, and player experience. I currently provide structured playtesting and reports for games on Apple mobile devices and via Steam on a Windows laptop.
