Writing began for me as a systems problem—an attempt to map what people feel but struggle to explain. My training in mathematics at The George Washington University, a fellowship at the University of Oxford in intelligence relations, and graduate work in Strategic Studies at Johns Hopkins taught me to translate complexity into something coherent and human-readable. I became fascinated by why systems repeat, rivalries persist, and personal crises feel cyclical. Analysis alone wasn’t enough; some truths require narrative to fully connect. Through fiction and nonfiction alike, I write to make the invisible visible—so readers can name what they carry and decide what comes next.
