About
I will be graduating from the University of Houston in August 2017. I am 17 years old, and have been notified that I will be the youngest graduate in the history of University of Houston. I graduated from high school in December when I was 12. I began classes at our community college immediately in January, when I was 13. I love learning, and cannot wait to enter a graduate program that will help me hone my skills and perfect my craft.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I intend to be a television screenwriter. I spent last summer as an intern with Emergent Order in Austin, through a program called Hollywood Career Launch through the Motion Picture Institute in New York. Throughout the years, I have attended multiple television and film festivals and workshops, and have met and learned from major writers, directors, and actors. My dream is to be the creator and writer of a celebrated television show like the Gilmore Girls.
