Hello there!I’ve loved the escapism of fantasy stories since I was a kid. Having always been more on the quiet side, reading gave my imagination a place to bloom...and then explode! Now I walk away from each story I read inspired to create my own. I’m always observing, I'm always curious. I think video games have also had a hand in my passion for storytelling. I got a Nintendo GameBoy and GameCube when I was younger and fell in love with story-driven games like Legend of Zelda and Pokemon. I know firsthand how powerful stories can be. I want to use my passion for writing and storytelling to help people overcome life's challenges, and inspire them to tell their own stories. More recently, I've begun studying graphic design independently and am working towards certifications. My college experience has stretched me to think critically about a diverse range of experiences and writing styles. Thanks to my wonderful professors, I’ve been exposed to so many underrepresented voices and stories that I’ll carry with me forever. I’ve also built a strong sense of responsibility and perseverance as well as organizational, collaborative, and creative skills that are reflected in my work. All I really need now is the chance to show what I can do.
