Writing &
Journalism
Writing was always my first creative love. Throughout my childhood, I always had either my head in a book or a pencil in hand. From journaling my thoughts, to writing stories, poetry, songs, and plays, I loved the idea of sharing my mind with the world around me. Growing older, that passion translated to a career in journalism. I like finding the balance between information and emotion— making sure the story is not only understood, but also something people can actually connect with.
My work includes feature stories, news coverage, and multimedia storytelling, all centered around real moments and the people behind them.
