About

I am a 25-year-old writer and designer, whose love for stories motivates me in everything I do. I hold a bachelor's degree in english and creative writing and a minor in film from the University of Iowa and recently achieved a certificate in web design and development from Loyola University Chicago. I’ve worked in digital publications and Non-Profits writing, editing, and introducing new stories and experiences to my readers for three years and counting. When I’m not capturing my ideas down on a page, I’m promoting them through social media, creating graphics and captions, and scheduling for just the right time. In my downtime, you can find me reading, or learning new skills.
