Strategic communications professional. Researcher. Author. I came to all of it by discovering that intellectual property, global economics, and the stories we tell across cultures are not separate fields. They're the same conversation, seen from different angles. I didn't set out to work at the intersection of communications, intellectual property, and international affairs. I got there by following a thread.

The thread started with stories. I've been writing science fiction for as long as I can remember, which meant I was always thinking about the mechanics of worlds: how systems work, who has power within them, and what happens when technology changes the rules. That curiosity didn't stay in fiction. It moved into my research, into my career, and eventually into a graduate thesis that tries to map how international IP laws, digitalization, and geopolitics shape global creative economies.

Professionally, I have led communications initiatives that support organizational goals, stakeholder engagement, and large-scale audience outreach. Academically, my research explores how nations, organizations, and creators leverage intellectual property and cultural assets to drive economic growth and soft power. Creatively, I build original stories and media projects designed to engage audiences across multiple platforms.

The through-line has always been the same: I'm interested in how ideas travel across borders, how culture creates influence, and how the infrastructure that surrounds creative work (legal, economic, technological) shapes what's possible for the people making it.
