ABOUT THE WORK
Stories rooted in people, their choices and the worlds that shape them.
I’m drawn to characters who find themselves at a point of change — where ordinary lives collide with extraordinary circumstances.
My work moves across fiction and non-fiction, but the impulse remains the same: to find the human story inside the larger one.
