My Background
I served in the U.S. Navy from 2013-2017 as an enlisted Cryptologic Technician Interpretive (CTI) with a TS/SCI clearance in a classified environment. I achieved respectable fluency in Modern Hebrew and dabble in German (but not French as I prefer languages which actually pronounce their consonants, thank you very much!). I earned my B.A. in Communications/Film and TV Production from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA (2020). In addition, I’ve self-published my children’s book, Bear’s New Hat, and am seeking representation for five more children's books!
Residing in Carmel, IN; I am available for travel for writing endeavors and other creative adventures.
