Biography
I am currently a senior at The University of Texas at Austin where I am studying journalism as well as media and entertainment industries. I fell in love with storytelling in high school and have pursued writing since. When I'm not forcing my friends to hang out with me and perfecting different coffee methods, you can find me freelancing or asking too many questions to complete strangers.
