I’m a reporter with The National covering arts and culture. I always want to connect to creatives from all sectors and stages in their career, particularly those who are from the region, to work together and find ways to archive and highlight their work and stories.

I think the region lacks enough hubs dedicated solely to creatives where they can come together organically, meet, connect, collaborate and support each other in a number of ways and grow and learn together. I would love to be part of such a community and movement.

I’m a writer primarily working as a journalist along with writing fiction and creative non-fiction.
