My Projects

Death of a Baron

Murder Mystery Novelist

Death of a Baron is my first book and my passion project. I wrote this book in order to further my own passion for writing and literature, while also sharing my love for books with others, through a story of my own. In the process I had the tremendous opportunity to work with many professionals in the publishing industry (including revisions editor, copy editor, proofreader, and marketing specialist…just to name a few) and learned a great deal from everyone involved in my book project.

As a young person from Vancouver, I care about the housing crisis here. Worrying isn’t enough, so I’m taking steps to make a difference. With the efforts of young people and everyone's support in Vancouver, I believe we can find creative solutions to fix this issue and ensure that future generations have stable and fulfilling housing.
