I am currently a fulltime, fourth year student at the University of Denver who has completed an English major, an art minor, and an entrepreneurship minor, as well as being on track to complete a writing minor as I graduate this June.

Outside of academia, I have been to twenty-two states, Canada, Turkey, Tanzania, and Kenya. Within those endeavors I have seen Niagara falls, paddle boarded on the shores of Atlantic Ocean, swam in the coasts of the Pacific Ocean, climbed the highest free-standing mountain in the world, Kilimanjaro, and visited my beloved family. This spring I also went to see the eclipse in Carbondale, Illinois.

The thing that invigorates me the most about life, however, is not traveling or scholarly achievement. Instead, my sights are set on my creations and the enduring legacy of those manifestations, whether they be through family, art, poetry, photography, novels, essays, quotes, or even in the thoughts of the future, whomever may have them.
