Let Me Write Your Story
My stories have been featured in the Times Advocate, Roadrunner, Share magazine and metallica.com. My objective is to showcase artists and entrepreneurs in my articles with a unique twist on storytelling. If you have a blog, book or web page, I’d be thrilled to collaborate with you. You can read some examples here.

Fast forward to today and I’m dabbling in journalism. A few months later, my article gets published and posted onto Metallica’s official site. You can read here: Metallica Article
