Writing & Preaching
Reflecting through the written word deepens my understanding of the human experience and has been a tool of connection with others. My educational foundation and global perspective have provided invaluable insights that inform my writing. I remain indebted to those who have supported my journey toward authentic expression—a professional privilege I hope to continue to build community and engage in meaningful discourse.
