In the marketing & business sector, I am a contributing editor on emerging trends in various industries for Trend Hunter. Also, I am a screenwriter who's written several short pieces like "Self-Stranding" and "Silently Chaotic" as well as feature pieces like "Sweet & Flurry" and "Immovable".

Storyteller: I am a follower of the art of storytelling. I've strived to understand many expressive forms of storytelling from fiction writing to journalism. Essentially, I work to be creative, and efficient, continuously upgrading myself to reach my goal.
