    I have been writing fantasy and science fiction stories since my junior year of high school. My primary focus has been on writing fantasy novels, but I have also written short stories in the past. Although I have not published any works yet, I use each writing project as an opportunity to learn new techniques, as well as to discover the writing style I like most. To continue honing my skills, I read novels by fantasy authors as well as authors in the thriller genre, then reflect on what particular styles I like best.

    My most recent writing project is a fantasy story inspired by Alexander the Great’s foray into India. In previous fantasy writing projects, I have been inspired by the French Revolution. I am also planning a long-term murder mystery series surrounding a young student’s journey through medical school and residency.
