Ever since I first picked up Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, I knew I wanted to be a writer. I'm known to frequently @ J.K. Rowling on Twitter. I'm also an Emma Watson Enthusiast, as I expect most people are.

I've always known I wanted to help people, I just never knew how I was going to do it. Growing up shy, I turned to the pages of my many journals instead of the company of my classmates. I decided to put my habits to good use by becoming a Journalism major, English minor, at the University of Nevada, Reno. I'm hoping to change the world with my words, though it isn't completely necessary. As long as I change the life of one person for the better, I'll be happy.

As an aspiring writer with more experience than expected, I believe my work could open up new doors by speaking on social conversations that are becoming more and more frequent with people my age. I'm comfortable talking about what many are not. Or maybe they are. Maybe they just need the right conversation-starter.
