I am a Communication Studies student at Western Washington University, with a
Minor in English that emphasizes Creative Writing. My passion lies
in storytelling, effective communication, and writing, which I apply to
technical, professional, and creative projects. I am deeply interested in
web development and game design, exploring how interactive media can
enhance storytelling and audience engagement.
My journey has been shaped by diverse experiences, including military
service, leadership roles, and program management. These experiences have honed my
ability to think critically, communicate complex ideas, and lead teams effectively.
I thrive in dynamic environments that require adaptability and strategic
thinking—skills that are invaluable in both professional and creative work.
I am continually refining my expertise in technical writing, professional communication, and
creative storytelling. My work includes developing clear and concise
documentation, crafting compelling narratives, and exploring innovative ways to
engage audiences. I also enjoy applying my skills to web development and game
design, blending technology with creativity to create immersive
experiences.
Beyond my studies, I am passionate about education and mentorship. With a
background as an adult educator, I have specialized in teaching combat
medicine, annual compliance training, and wilderness and water survival skills. Through
my background in teaching and curriculum development, I strive to make
complex information accessible and engaging, whether through instructional
materials, business communications, or interactive media.
Outside my academic and professional pursuits, I enjoy spending time with my family,
exploring the outdoors, and analyzing storytelling across various media. My
love for literature, games, and digital media deepens my understanding of
narrative structure, audience engagement, and world-building, which I incorporate
into my creative projects.
As I advance in my career, I aim to bridge the gap between technical precision and creative
expression through writing, publishing, content development, and digital
media. I welcome opportunities to collaborate with like-minded
individuals and to explore new ways to communicate ideas effectively.
I am also the founder of Summit Forged Studios, a publishing and media
company dedicated to bridging the gap between technical
precision and creative storytelling. Through this venture, I aim to
support writers, creators, and businesses in crafting high-quality
content and immersive experiences.
