I'm a writer and poet, book enthusiast, fantasy lover, and not-so-beautiful mess. I've always loved reading and writing and I hope to explore more of the literary world's depth and develop more as a writer. My favorite medium is poetry; I am a 2026 NC State Youth Poet Laureate Ambassador, and I was a 2025 and 2026 finalist for CHS Poet Laureate, and I am now the Celebrator of Original Works, as well as the Co-Social Causes Lead, for CHS's Poet Justice League. 

I'm the Co-President of the Teen Advisory Board for the CHS Library.

I'm also a Staff Writer and Photographer for The JagWire; a Editor, Writer, and Photograper for the CHS Rosette Yearbook; Poetry, Short Story and Essay Editor for Jagged Lines; and I'm the Co-President of The Jaguar Athenaeum; a student-run organization and magazine that offers resources to youth and student artists.
