I am a writer, designer, and artist and have experience in both traditional and hybrid forms of writing. I've written for magazines and newspapers as well as composed works of fiction, creative nonfiction and generative poetry. My background in a range of compositional theories gives me a unique, multidisciplinary foundation from which to employ multiple, contextual frameworks and modes of expression. I have experience not only writing in different genres, but also composing in a diversity of modes; both print and digital. My theoretical work in this area has explored what it means to compose, how meaning is constructed and thus translated to the reader through a particular mode, and how technologies are viewed.
During the course of my graduate work at Rowan University, I've gained experience in the practice of writing that transcends the standard approach of arranging words on a page-space and explores storytelling through visual mediums; such as photography and videography. Currently, I am exploring the function of metaphor and the concept of narrative mapping, where separate bodies of work are linked together through a common thread or theme and resonate together forming a whole. My creative process involves the strategic placement of multigenre works in conjunction with graphic components-such as photography, collage, and visual poetry-resulting in the birth of a multilayered narrative.
