What does being a part of the literary magazine The Creative Conductor mean to you?

It’s been a way to share my writing with the community forever.

How has writing impacted you?

Writing has really impacted the way I see any English based class. Since I can remember I have been a Science and History lover, but starting my freshman year I have found a love for writing. It provides me with a creative outlet and allows me to express myself in another way. 

What advice do you have for upcoming creative writing students?

I would say one, do not wait till the last minute to start assignments because yes you chose this class because you probably like writing and you find it easy, but these are lengthy assignments and in a class full of writers you want to stick out which takes time. And my second thing I would say to them is, do not hold yourself back when it comes to your creativity. This is a class where you have a lot of freedom so take advantage of that and express who you are as a writer. 

Favorite high school memory?

My favorite high school memory would have to be winning Homecoming Queen this past year. When they made the announcement I was in complete shock because I had no idea I was even a top candidate. I also loved this moment because I was able to win it with someone that is really special to me and we can now share that memory. 

What are your plans after high school?

After high school I plan to attend a 4 year University and study Kinesiology or Exercise Science. Along with that I would like to become a member of a collegiate dance team to stay active and allow my love for this art to continue to grow.
