Hi there!

I'm a writer whose curiosity takes me down many paths. My background as a professional chef gives my writing a unique flavor, especially when it comes to food (pun intended!). But my interests extend far beyond the kitchen.

I'm a local news enthusiast, always keeping my ear to the ground and my finger on the pulse of what's happening in my community. Political issues ignite my passion for creating thought-provoking pieces that encourage diverse perspectives and spark meaningful conversations.

Motivational self-help writing is another area where I thrive. By drawing on my own experiences, I craft inspiring stories about overcoming obstacles, setting and achieving goals, and embracing a fulfilling life.

My ranging skillset allows me to take on a wide range of topics, showcasing my versatility as a writer. Whether it's the world of gastronomy, the intricacies of politics, the journey of self-improvement, or anything in between, I'm dedicated to delivering engaging and enlightening content that informs and motivates my readers.

Look at my portfolio and discover the many faces of my writing!

Building a Following on Newsbreak Doesn’t Feel the Same as on Other Platforms

However, I started questioning the true meaning of “followers” on this platform.

Despite having 16,000 followers, I doubted all of them were actively seeing my articles. There’s limited interaction — the only way for them to reach out is through my story email or comments, which feels insufficient for building a strong community.

This disconnect was disheartening. It felt like the initial accomplishment of gaining f
