Writer

United States of America

I'm a writing and marketing student at Bluffton University. I waste my time watching movies with friends, eating french fries and refining my writing skill.

An assignment I was given in the 5th grade is what sparked my desire to be a writer. My teacher told me my short story, which was based on a magazine cut out of a squirrel, would make a great children's story. From that day forward I haven't been able to put my pencil down, my mind constantly churning with new ideas.

I pride myself with my determination and organizational skills as well as being a strong team player.

On occasion I have also been told I write well-very well. But I'll let my work speak for itself, poke around and enjoy!
