Writer's Statement At the heart of my storytelling is a deep commitment to the socially disenfranchised--the unheard --the forgotten. I'm drawn to characters who struggle to find their place in unfamiliar or unforgiving worlds, whether it's a teen navigating the shadows of addiction, a young woman uncovering generational conspiracies, or a reluctant hero confronting powers far greater than themselves. My stories explore themes of identity, resilience, and redemption, often set against gritty realities or heightened stakes. I believe in giving voice to those on the margins, crafting narratives that challenge, provoke, and connect. I don't just write to entertain-I write to shine a light, spark empathy, and reveal the strength in those the world too often overlooks.
