I am a freelance writer and visual artist living in Rockaway Park, Queens. For the past 11 years I’ve worked as a visual art teacher in the New York City school system where I instill my love of art and my passion for writing in my high school students. I’ve always loved to write, and when I’m not creating paintings or drawings, I’m writing down thoughts, ideas, reflections, and stories that span a variety of genres. I’ve recently finished my first full-length novel and although I haven’t been published yet, many short stories and non-fiction essays. My stories range from dark fantasy and love to horror and science fiction thrillers that combine deep philosophical thought, contemporary issues, and eclectic dialogue.
