About Me
I like to tell stories that entertain, inspire, and get readers to question their reality — even if just by a little.
I began writing my book, ABRAHAM, as a semester assignment for one of my college creative writing classes. I originally imagined Arthur Hesper's story as being more of a short novella, but the more I worked on ABRAHAM, the more I realized how much story there was to tell.
Almost two years later, I finally found myself clicking "Publish" on my first completed novel. Of course, I knew that my writing journey was far from over.
In addition to fiction writing, I enjoy sharing the wonders of space science with others. In 2024, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Physics from The College of New Jersey (where I also minored in Creative Writing). While at TCNJ, I have conducted numerous research projects while at TCNJ, including work on supermassive black holes and on planets that orbit two stars. I have served as a co-author on papers related to these studies, and have given numerous presentations about these and other topics in astronomy.
I especially love using planetariums to teach others about the wonders of space. I have worked as a planetarium presenter and show designer at numerous facilities across the Garden State, where I have created movies and live presentations on topics ranging from intercultural astronomy, distant planets, galaxy-altering black holes, and others. Currently, I work as the Planetarium Technician at the New Jersey State Museum, where I maintain the equipment of the fulldome theater, present weekday shows, and work on exciting new exhibits and programming.
I live with my family in central New Jersey, where I enjoy riding my bike and working on my stories (sometimes doing both at the same time). I like to spend my free time wandering through virtual worlds (via movies, books, and a good deal of video games) and wandering through the real world when walking my dog.
I look forward to writing many more exciting stories, both related to ABRAHAM and beyond. I am especially excited to be working on the sequel to my first book, so stay tuned! After all, the story of Arthur, Sarah, and Ali has only just begun.
