About

I'm a Freelance Writer who is constantly in the process of exploring and expanding my genres. I'm open-minded to creativity and driving myself to become an extraordinary author while optimally operating on an intense schedule of work, school, and social life. Besides being a writer, I am also a devoted learner of the media world, especially filmography and cinema. I have penned a couple screenplays over the past few years and edited a multitude of media mediums. While being under any company's employment, I get to be exposed more to a team-based working environment and simultaneously producing more of my own writing projects in my downtime. As of this moment, I am currently seeking experience and opportunities that will challenge and amplify my expertise in the modern entertainment world.
