I'm a rising senior at Illinois Wesleyan University, studying creative writing and marketing. I run both NCAA cross country and track and I've been published numerous times in our school's Tributaries Creative Arts Journal. I spent this summer as a writing intern at an ad firm and I plan to enter the industry when I graduate.
My approach to writing is to have as much fun as possible. I've written short stories about the first reality T.V. series on Mars, deathbed selfies, a recruiter for The Church of Satanism, and Kanye’s future son South West. I also enjoy writing and recording raps.
