As A Writer...
I have always loved writing and creating stories. From my early childhood days, I would get lost in my imagination and scribble down my stories on anything I could find. But my love and understanding of creative writing truly blossomed in the 8th grade when I was given an assignment to add a chapter to Harper Lee’s TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD.
​
Now, over 15 years later, I write fantasy, horror, mystery, and more. I have over 10 years of experience with professional writing and editing, and I jump at every chance to write something new and different to expand my horizons and learn more every day.
​
My stories are heavily influenced by my background. Growing up with diverse friends, having an immigrant mother, and being half-Desi half-white inspired me to write about diverse characters and their shared struggles often left unspoken.
For much of my life, I have struggled with depression and anxiety. It can be scary to talk about, but I like to in case someone relates. I know now that I’m not alone, and I hope you know that too. While I like to tackle hard subject matters, I hope my stories can still uplift people, bring them together, or even let one person know they, too, deserve a happy ending.
​
I was born and raised on the Central Coast of California. After a brief stint in Colorado, I returned home. When not writing or taking photos, I can be found cuddling with my dogs and cat, playing video games, watching wrestling, and much, much more.
I am currently unagented.
