It all comes back to writing, for me. My first passion was the written word.
I spent my childhood buried in books; drifting from the reality in my home to distant worlds with unique characters. I started writing in high school — poems and short stories at first, then autobiographical essays. In college, I wrote for the newspaper and interned at music magazines, in hopes of turning my love of writing into a sustainable career.
My professional life began in journalism, writing for my favorite publications. It’s a chapter I’m proud of, as it allowed me to explore storytelling in a direct and unfussy medium. In the years since, I have dipped back into writing and continue to use it as an entry point into any creative endeavor.
