I graduated in May of 2022 with my BA in English with a focus in Creative Writing (poetry) from Washington University in St. Louis. I love language and the written word and I want to instill that love and appreciation in others. I've worked with elementary school students to improve their reading skills as an AmeriCorps Vista Intern with Literacy Mid-South, and while at WashU I led numerous writing workshops for groups ranging from elementary school students to my college peers. I wrote for our campus newspaper, Student Life, which is one of the oldest college papers in the country. Therein, my passions lie in English, Creative Writing, and Writing more generally. I am currently an MFA student at the University of Memphis, studying Creative Writing (poetry) and I'm really excited to continue honing my craft and working collaboratively with others.
