I'm a dedicated English major at Grove City College with a love for poetry, editing, and thoughtful storytelling. I’m building a portfolio of published poetry and prose while helping others refine their ideas. I enjoy exploring how art, language, and faith intersect, and I look for opportunities to contribute to literary magazines, education projects, and community outreach.
