What encouraged me to pursue writing was a personal passion: cars. It drove me to find my first writing opportunities with automotive magazines and online publications. Since then – I have written articles on a variety of subjects, from technical and medical research to politics. If I need to write about a subject I'm not familiar with, I'll study it until I'm sufficiently familiarized. The automotive field is where the heart is, but my mind is focused on which ever subject I write about.
