She chased my neighbor's cat, Tobias, up and down the stairs, yowling like a maniac, making us the talk of our apartment complex. I assured Janis, Tobias’ owner, that I would find her cat.

Submitted to Contest #187

Author bio

My writing interests are unique, in that I enjoy writing within a wide range of genres. In the space of non-fiction, my interests lie in leadership, career journey, and the ways our humanity intertwines with our professional life. My hope is I offer readers insightful and practical advice to find fulfillment with their professional endeavors. In the realm of fiction, I enjoy horror, sci-fi, post-apocalyptic narratives, thriller, and the occasional endearing comedy. I love to explore how humans interact with each other when we strip away technology—who are we really? In both non-fiction and fiction spaces, I believe there is a common thread that enables us to find meaning—our human connections.
