I am a recent graduate from UMass Amherst with a degree in English.

My writing journey started with yearning for something valuable I knew my physics, chemistry, math, or anatomy classes wouldn’t fulfill: the understanding of empathy, storytelling, and the backbone of what connects humans to each other. But also, the skill, tactic, and behind-thinking of a written craft that helps further understand us and our communities in relation to each other. So, I made the leap and declared English as my major sophomore year, and I haven’t looked back.

I've developed a passion for using writing as a creative technique to translate humanities study readings into narrative storytelling. Creative nonfiction has its own way of efficiently teaching people, just like an academic research paper.

Writing non-fiction creatively continuously challenges me to push beyond my limits. I believe that writing an effective piece requires an equal blend of creativity and technicality, like constantly asking myself questions: “How does this sentence impact the reader?” and “What does it contribute to the overall message?” Even minor adjustments, such as changing the placement of a sentence, can significantly alter the message or argument of my work. This process excites me, but the art of connecting with my audience is what's rewarding.

As my writing evolved, a strong desire to pursue law emerged. While combining my storytelling skills with my passion in activism, I aspire to help people, particularly marginalized people, in order to bring justice and unity amongst us all. 

In my free time, I enjoy doing yoga, ceramics, photography, and reading or writing poetry.
