How has writing impacted you?

I’m an avid daydreamer, so all forms of art have been my outlet to pour all of my little ideas and universes I created over the course of my life. I like to write down all of my little and big ideas, poems, going out of my comfort zone and writing things in a way I’ve never written before…all of these things have made me a better thinker today. 

What advice do you have for upcoming creative writing students?

Don’t be afraid to give your mind a break. 

Favorite high school memory? 

Ms. Mangold’s Ceramics class as a whole. It was so fun working with clay – watching my ideas come to life. I’ve learned so much about the creative process in that class, not just with clay. Never have I ever looked forward to going to class than when I was taking Ceramics! 

What are your plans after high school?  

I look forward to pursuing video game development!
