About

I have been admitted into the University of North Carolina at Charlotte where I am majoring in English with a concentration in creative writing and minoring in children's literature. I am unconditionally and irrevocably in love with reading and writing and I've always had an advanced affinity for both. My nomadic childhood and adolescence has blessed me with a myriad of adventures that not everyone gets the opportunity to experience. These exploits often inspire the plethora of stories that I tell through my writing and all my experiences shape me into a better writer.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I plan on fulfilling my life-long dream of becoming a full-time author. I would love not only to entertain and bring happiness to my audience, but also to reach each of my readers on a personal and emotional level. My heart is in every story I write and I hope that encourages them to be the best version of themselves and always follow their dreams. The magic is in believing and by believing, dreams become reality.

Graduate school interests

Once I earn my BA, I plan on acquiring my MA in English.

Outside the classroom

Since before kindergarten, I've been a voracious reader, devouring novels from all genres and that remains unchanged today. Books have always been the portals that I've unlocked to access different dimensions and discover new worlds across time, space, and possibility. I was proudly an active member of my high school's book club and I avidly completed all the extra credit book reports that my English teacher offered. Of course, my occupational soul mate is writing and I've always been attracted to it, even as a very young child. I've since upgraded from scribbling my stories in colored marker on paper to typing on a sophisticated computer, but the spirit of my adoring devotion to writing remains the same. I am an innovative and creative thinker, and I crave challenges where I can prove the strength of my writing. For me, the pen is unequivocally mightier than the sword.
