ABOUT ME
What I Write
What I Write
I love writing stories that focus on the coming-of-age journeys of female and LGBTQ+ characters. I have experience writing across a wide range of genres, however, I tend to gravitate toward romantic comedy, thriller, and dramedy. I love blending humor with heartfelt moments in rom-coms, diving into suspenseful and unpredictable plots in thrillers, and exploring the balance of light and serious themes in dramedies.
