I believe books are powerful and can impact our society. A great story transports the reader in a place they never thought possible and creates an invaluable perspective. This is the mark I aspire to leave behind. Often, we think we are too small, too irrelevant to make a difference and it can be disheartening. My passion lies in storytelling; I write to put a pebble in building a fresh world. My strength is my ability to build flawed but relatable characters whom readers can empathize and identify with. I am eager to learn and expand my horizons in the fields I'm interested in. I have taken creative writing courses. My most ambitious project, so far, has been taking part in an anthology which will be published mid-winter 2018.
