Writing is my happy place.

Since I've been able to hold a pencil

(or crayon) I've been writing. In the fourth grade I had my first poem

published in a collection of student work. After this my

writing-based-hubris exploded and I wrote so many poems I cannot even

count.

Aside from countless composition books full of scribbled

poetry, I have written many short stories. A very, very small portion of

this work can be seen here.

I have also independently designed, written and published the newsletter

for my Publix on multiple occasions. A large part of our monthly

newsletter is the “Associate Spotlight,” which has made me very

comfortable with personality profiles.

I went into college with

intentions of getting a master's degree in psychology, which stems from

my fascination with people in general. However, I was ignoring my

life-long relationship with writing.

So, halfway through my

sophomore year I switched my major to journalism and dropped psychology

to my minor. Currently, I am studying journalism and psychology at

Florida Gulf Coast University.

I am the editorial assistant for eBella Magazine

which entails writing more of my favorites—personality profiles, and

much more. Aside from that, I am also a student member of the Naples

Press Club.

My dream is to publish a novel, a collection of my poetry and to publish my own magazine.
