Creative Writer, Technical Writer, Content Writer

United States

An academic background political science and foreign affairs is what originally sent me to Central Asia (Mongolia, 2017-19 and Kazakhstan, 2020-23). I have returned home to America with new skills and a new direction for my career in the fields of writing, journalism, proofreading, editing, and storytelling. I am a skilled writer in both creative and technical capacities as a demonstrated, dependable and returning contractor for PricewaterhouseCoopers Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan to proofread and contribute technical writing services to the external reports of third-party client companies.

Named for a pork fat infused whiskey the podcast's first hosting venue offered, the weekly/bi-weekly podcast released episodes on Mondays. 15 total episodes produced plus 2 special episodes. All but 3 episodes remain as Soundcloud membership grew too expensive to maintain.
