I believe in the power and value of words. I thrive on mundane and ordinary stories because I believe that’s where the most beautiful side of life can be found. Happiness, to me, is watching my grandmother slowly washing the dishes while she tells me about the life she once had. I believe words exist to tell stories, and stories exist to be told. This belief fuels my passion for communication and storytelling in all its forms, from journalism and creative writing to marketing and design.
