/ About Me
Storyteller, Truth-Seeker
I am a journalist covering local news, education, culture, and finance—bringing facts to light with clarity and depth. As a writer, I craft opinion pieces, conversational prose, and research-driven articles that engage and inform. And as a poet, I give voice to the words that echo too fiercely for the confines of print. Storytelling, in all its forms, is my passion.
