Born in 1995I was raised in Van Buren, where I graduated from Van Buren High School with high honors in 2014. I enjoyed math and art, and of course writing. In my spare time I like to read and play video games.

My GoalI picked up and dropped writing in elementary school, but rediscovered it during my senior year of high school. I decided it would be fun to write my own stories, and after suggestions from my mom and sister, I decided to major in journalism and minor in digital filmmaking at the University of Central Arkansas. A combination of writing skill and film love was why my sister suggested I be a film critic, though I also want to write my own things.
