Fun Facts About Me

Favorite book…

Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor has held a special place in my heart since I first read it 2nd grade. I recently read it again and still love it. Another book that I have recently fallen in love with is Drawing Breath by Gayle Brandeis. I found it so relatable and I love the amount of thought put into the overall design and layout.

Favorite Genre to write…

I love to write poetry. I love that I can be real and raw with no limits or bounds. I love the rhythm and playing with words. I enjoy trying different styles of poetry and pushing my creative limits. There's just something about poetry that makes my inner creative side come alive.

Something I collect…

GameCube games. Yes, I know that may sound silly, but it brings me a sense of nostalgia that nothing else can match. The thrill of finding a game I had as a kid and getting to play it as an adult is unmatched. My favorite in my collection so far is The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
