I’m a narrative writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area with a background in teaching and storytelling. I specialize in dialogue-driven characters and atmospheric, introspective narratives that explore identity, autonomy, and the human condition. I’m especially drawn to quiet, emotionally focused experiences where conversation, tone, and subtext carry the weight of the story. My academic background in international relations and my longtime interest in history and philosophy strongly influence the themes I explore in my writing. I’m also the creator of Plot First, a narrative design platform built to help writers and game developers develop characters and story worlds. Through that work and my own independent projects, I’ve spent the past few years deepening my focus on interactive storytelling and character voice. I love collaborating with indie developers and contributing to projects that aim to create meaningful, memorable narrative experiences for players.
