Stories where beautiful places hide terrible secrets
I write horror and thrillers that explore identity, human complexity, and the moment normalcy shatters. My approach to storytelling is rooted in character psychology and a deep interest in what drives people beneath the surface. The line between hero and monster is thinner than we think.
I studied writing and film and hold both a BFA and a master’s degree. I also spent years in high-pressure sales, where I saw firsthand how pressure, desire, and greed shape human behavior. That job put food on the table, but never nourished my soul.
So I took a risk, made a clean break, and committed fully to writing. Since then, I’ve focused on building a body of work that reflects my voice, range, and fascination with the darker edges of the human mind.
I’m based in Los Angeles and consider it my forever home. I love the city’s vibe and the creative culture that surrounds it. Being immersed in a community of artists who challenge and inspire me allows me to do my strongest work.
