"Writer" or "author" often feels tethered to the written word—novels, essays, articles, or poetry. While these are vital forms of expression, they represent just a fraction of how stories can be shared in our modern world. Stories now transcend the page, finding life in spoken word, video, podcasts, interactive media, and more. Choosing "storyteller" over these more traditional labels reflects a broader, more inclusive understanding of what it means to create and share narratives.

Storytelling is one of humanity's oldest and most enduring traditions. Long before written language existed, our ancestors gathered around fires to share tales of the hunt, the gods, and the mysteries of the world. These early stories weren’t just entertainment; they were tools for survival, ways of teaching, an effective means of passing important knowledge down multiple generations, and a means of binding communities together. For me, the word “storyteller” connects my work to that primal act of communication and connection—a reminder that the power of a story lies not in the medium but in its ability to resonate, inspire, and endure.

As a storyteller, I want to honor that legacy by embracing the ever-evolving ways stories can be experienced. Whether it’s crafting a written story, collaborating on a screenplay, or shaping a compelling narrative for audio or visual formats, my focus is on engaging the human imagination. In my mind, a storyteller is less confined by tools and more guided by purpose: to entertain, enlighten, and provoke thought, no matter the medium. This identity allows me to follow the story wherever it needs to go.
