In an attempt to keep writing, an activity that has helped me gain serenity and clarity in my life, I joined the Odyssey team in May of 2016 after completing my freshman year at Pratt Institute. Last year, through participating in reading groups and slam poetry, I began to view writing as an amazing way to connect with others. Although I wrote daily for two years, it was difficult for me to keep this up in college. I'm excited to use the Odyssey platform in a way that's fun and engaging though sharing personal stories, reviews (on art and cultural events), and pieces formatted as lists to bring my perspective into the community's conversation.
