Bio
I think about writing more than I write, but call myself a writer as opposed to a thinker.

Turtles All The Way Down
I always enjoyed the Green Brothers. I remember watching their informative videos during high school for various classes. Their ability to make learning fun and accessible is something I've always admired, and I was a huge fan of John Green's YA novels during my adolescence.

Book Writing Advice
I've done it. I've completed my first round of edits for my debut novel, Bottle Trees and Broken Dreams. This round of edits consisted of checking for spelling and grammar, omitting issues I found in the full read, and adding things that would help build the world and clear things up. I took this draft from 55,000 words to 60,000 words, which is something I'm very happy about.

College Degrees. Top Story - August 2023.
The most expensive piece of paper one may ever own. Signed off and sealed, making the empty promises that higher education brings extra official. Garnered after many nights of justified tears and many words written on topics one can't even remember. C's get degrees, but good jobs are never promised.

Harry Potter
A cornerstone of my childhood. Despite the plot holes and controversies, this story is something that stays with me. When summer turns to autumn, I cross my fingers that an owl will swoop down with my Hogwarts acceptance letter. The letter never comes, so I settle with rewatching the movies.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians
A middle-grade series, highlighting children with disabilities as demigods. In this world, differences are not hindrances, but superpowers. Follow Percy and his friends as they come of age while saving the world from Kronos. These Greek mythological stories made me feel seen and made my childhood magical. Thank you, Rick.
