As a student at George Mason University, I’ve created this blog for an Online Journalism class I’m currently enrolled in. I’m majoring in English with a concentration with Nonfiction Writing and Editing and have two minors, Electronic Journalism and Art History.

I’m an intern for George Mason’s Hillel program, and my duties include running a bi-monthly book club, which they sponsor. I’ve written multiple book reviews and articles for George Mason’s student newspaper, Broadside and I’m looking to pursue a career as a writer.

I intend to further my own passion and skill as a writer by pursuing a graduate degree in Creative Nonfiction Writing.

The navigation tools on the right side of the page will guide you though my blog, including class readings, articles and my resume. Enjoy!
