About

My schooling was through home education. In 4th grade, I became a part of a homeschool community called Classical Conversations. I earned my junior high and high school credits through this organization. The curricula I used and that is listed on my transcript can be found at www.classicalconversations.com.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I am open to a variety of paths that communications might offer, whether it is writing for some type of publication, working in the offices of organizations and companies that intrigue me such as the St. Louis Muny, or organizing communications for entertainment companies. Ultimately, I would love to publish a young adult science fiction novel.

Graduate school interests

Depending on where my studies take me, grad school may be an option and I am open to attending if needed.

Outside the classroom

Music-(piano, guitar, drums, writing & performance),
Reading and writing stories,
Art- painting, crafting, thrifting,
Attending concerts from symphonic to modern artists
Roadtrips
