This transformative journey not only refined my skills as a writer and editor but also ignited a personal passion for engaging with art, enriching my understanding of the diverse expressions and forms that art encompasses.

Post-graduation, I embarked on a freelancing odyssey, initially tutoring and editing on platforms like Wyzant. Soon, a desire to broaden my horizons led me to work directly with individuals on book and short story editing, as well as consulting across both creative and business writing domains. I gradually expanding my presence across freelancing platforms such as Fiverr and now Contra, where I direct my clients for a more personalized and fair interaction. This journey not only diversifies my skill set but also deepens my engagement with the myriad narratives that shape our world, allowing me to weave my scholarly acumen and mystical flair into each project.
