About

Hi, and thanks
for stopping by.

I work as a freelance writer, editor and photographer. Occasionally, I also work as a communications manager and coordinator on community-based or cultural initiatives.

Each story asks for its own form — whether literary reportage, an essay or a photographic documentary. Whatever the medium, I’m drawn to working in layers and taking the time to go deeper.

My work often circles around social themes, care, rural life, portraiture and natural history. I’m currently based in Košice, Slovakia.
