The majority of my work experience has been slaving away in a kitchen in the restaurant industry ("good inspiration," I tell myself now), but I've always been intrigued about reading, writing, and storytelling as a whole. This passion has always lingered in me somewhere, but it only truly manifested itself in college through my creative writing courses, and from that moment I've devoted myself to writing and exploring the craft. Since then I've published poetry, have had my journalism featured, and am always working on projects such as novel writing or beta reading. Aside from non-professional work, I run a small tabletop roleplaying group where I world-build, work individually with players to manage character arcs and interpersonal issues, and facilitate collaborative roleplay experiences.
