About

I’m a Montreal-based writer and journalist with over 15 years of experience in literature, screenwriting, and cultural reporting. My debut novel was published in Milan in 2020, and my second, In Search of the Parsley Forest, supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and CALQ, is in its final draft for 2025 publication. In addition to my creative writing, I’ve published over 1,000 articles in multiple languages, often focusing on human stories, memory, and identity across conflict zones. I’m especially drawn to introspective, mythological, and spiritually infused storytelling, and I welcome long-term collaborations that explore layered, evolving narratives.
