College: University of Illinois
Major: English w/ Business Minor
Graduation Date: 2015

Hi everyone! I'm a sophomore at the University of Illinois, majoring in English and hopefully minoring in business. Ever since the first grade, I've been writing stories and poems, some of which have been featured in publications on the local and national levels. I try to bring a lot of the eclectic interests from my everyday life into my writing, as well as some added craziness along the way.
I'm a bit of a Disney freak. It's been a dream of mine for a long time to take my love of writing and apply it to producing movies for the Walt Disney Animation Studios. I'm also and avid skier and sailor. What can I say? Coming from the Chicago area, I grew up around plenty of water in the summer and snow in the winter.
