I am a firm believer that storytelling is a rich and vital component of the human experience. I strive to helpothers tell their stories whether it be through journalistic writing, essays, photography or short film. I've beenon a bumpy, harrowing-at-times, and ultimately rewarding journey towards self-discovery and took a sharpright turn about two years ago when I left behind baking professionally to pursue my love of words and story.
