My Style & Philosophy
I graduated from the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia in May 2018. I majored in English with a concentration in Creative Writing. I am passionate about writing and editing and hope to work in a related field. Check out my writing samples and CV, and please get in touch directly if you have any questions. Enjoy!
Spring Semester 2018
This is my final semester at Mary Washington. I will graduate on May 5th and begin a job soon afterwards.
I have been serving as the Editor-in-Chief of the Rappahannock Review, my university's literary journal. I am taking my senior seminar in Nonfiction and working on multimedia projects for my individual study, which is my capstone project for the Honors Program.
My work for my individual study can be found under the tab at the top of this page. Please note that some of the pages are still under construction as this is a new site.
