What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster creativity and collaboration in storytelling.

I am a dedicated and ambitious writer with over 15 years of experience as a hobbyist and professional. My journey in storytelling has been enriched by my role as a TTRPG Writer and Game Master, where I have developed a unique ability to weave intricate narratives that engage and captivate audiences. My academic background in Chemical Engineering and my Master’s Degree in Content Writing have equipped me with a diverse skill set that enhances my writing capabilities.

Throughout my career, I have embraced various writing forms, including prose, essays, and screenwriting for cinema and television. My experience as a Technical Writer has further honed my ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively. I thrive in collaborative environments, leveraging Agile and Scrum methodologies to ensure projects are delivered on time and to the highest standards.

In addition to my writing expertise, I have a strong foundation in project management and teamwork, which I believe are essential for successful storytelling. I am always eager to take on new challenges and projects that allow me to explore my creativity and passion for narrative development.
