Author Portfolio

I was born on February 17, 1995 in Philadelphia, PA, but I have been living in New Jersey since I was seven years old. I first started writing when I was six years old and it has since become a life-long passion. As a child and teenager I loved writing short stories (usually fantasy), but my interest for different writing forms expanded when I began college at Rutgers University. During my freshman year I worked as a news reporter for the local city newspaper, New Brunswick Today. I loved getting to know the city better by reporting on local topics such as the arts, health, sports, and politics. I also took playwriting and screen-writing classes, both of which are now probably my two favorite forms of creative writing. I encourage you to check out my work throughout this website!
