« Words are the windows to our common experiences, bridging the gaps between cultures and revealing the universal essence of the human condition. »
Encontada
As a writer, I explore the relationships between human agency and the larger systems that shape it. My publications oscillate between reportage and reflection, drawing from research, policy, and lived experience. Both my analytical and creative writings examine how institutional forces define modern life, often juxtaposing macrorealities with microperceptions.
​
After nearly a decade translating the analytical ideas of technical experts for public audiences as an editorial consultant, I shifted my focus from producing bespoke content to creating structural pathways for publication. In 2025, this work expanded through Zeytin Press, an independent publishing house dedicated to nonfiction authors, literary storytellers, and interdisciplinary thinkers. I now split my time between directing Zeytin Press and occasional journalistic features. Although my writing retains its deeply empirical edge, it continues to explore the human condition from policy to prose.
