Diving into Creations
Writing the Darkness
My writing spans travel-inspired mysteries, psychological fiction, and the raw material of lived experience. My published collection, European Mysteries & Other Dark Tales, brings together five stories exploring adventure, danger, and the storms within.

I’m also querying my dark academia debut novel, Young & Damned, and writing a memoir about mental illness abroad. Through an honest account of life with bipolar and borderline personality disorder, I hope to challenge stigma and advocate for immigrant mental health.
Howling Ridge Productions
I founded Howling Ridge Productions as a media hub for adventure, travel, and visual storytelling. As its creative director, I bring together videos, photography, and stories inspired by the places I explore from crystal-clear waters to snowy mountain peaks.
Finding My Voice – Metal
As an aspiring metal vocalist, I’m discovering another way to express myself beyond the written word. I’m drawn to the intensity of the genre and its ability to give difficult emotions somewhere to go. From fry screams to distortion, I hope to front-woman a rock band in 2027.

I’m developing my technique and exploring what my voice can do, sharing the process as I learn. This is a journey in progress with metal covers coming out on YouTube.
The Howl
We love a great animal sidekick. When a book is published under the Howling Ridge imprint, 50% of net proceeds are donated to animal rescue non-profits, turning storytelling into tangible impact.
“You cannot share your life with a dog… or a cat, and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings.”
