I am a 29-year old US citizen currently working as an English teacher in Turkey with a particular interest in publishing indepedently written work and collaborating with other artists in literary projects. I have a particular interest in writing and publishing using both traditional and contemporary media. My experience includes original writing, typesetting and printing on a traditional offset press in the GutenbergMuseum in Mainz, Germany, and electronic publishing of my written work with graphical illustrations in collaboration with a Japanese artist.  I have also independently published my own magazine while studying at UCA in Farnham called 4Room; a proffessioal networking platform for artists looking for longterm creative support.

Since leaving high school in the USA in 1999 I have lived, studied and worked in several countries including Germany, Switzerland, and the UK with the purpose of travelling and understanding other cultures before studying for a professional degree.  My native language is English and I am fluent in German and Spanish.
