Writing has been a constant presence throughout my life. As a child, I filled notebooks with stories and observations; as a teenager, I built my first website and began blogging; as a student, I founded and edited Encore! Magazine, combining editorial work with cultural commentary. This sustained engagement with writing has developed into a practice that moves fluidly between academic research, public scholarship, and creative expression.
Today, writing forms the core of my professional identity. I work as an academic researcher and author, contributing chapters to peer-reviewed collected volumes in fields such as media studies, medievalism, folklore, neurodiversity studies, and game studies. I have published in five languages, reflecting the international and cross-cultural scope of my work and its engagement with diverse scholarly and public audiences.
Alongside academic publications, I maintain an active practice of public and reflective writing. Through essays, blog posts, and shorter pieces, I explore ideas in a more experimental and accessible form, allowing theory, lived experience, and curiosity to interact more freely. Creative writing — including poetry and fan fiction — remains an important part of this ecosystem, not as a separate activity, but as another way of thinking through story, voice, and world-building.
I am also the author of two books on neurodiversity: Inside the Autside (2023) and The Pictorialist (2025). Across all forms of writing, my aim is to combine analytical rigour with imagination and care, treating writing not only as a method of communication, but as a way of thinking, connecting, and making sense of complex worlds.
