During the pandemic, I specialized in screenwriting for film and television, and now I’m in Canada finishing my studies in writing and publishing. My goal is to move deeper into the publishing world and the entertainment industry—creating books/comics and original stories across speculative genres. I bring research and fact-checking experience from archival work and years of storytelling as an RPG Game Master, along with practical editorial, proofreading, and design skills.
