Ever since elementary school, my dream job has been to write the fantasy books that have always captivated and encouraged me. Not many people get to make their childhood dreams a reality, but when an afternoon daydream wouldn't let me go in middle school, I knew I had a story worth pursuing. Six drafts later, THE BROKEN HEIR is a fantasy novel of my very own, and I hope you will join me on my journey to publication. I write to entertain, but more importantly, so readers long for the courage and redemption in my adventures to become their realities. Good writing demands an answer.  

I am a Stamps Scholar studying Creative Writing and Spanish at the University of Mississippi. The Stamps scholarship has enabled me to study abroad in nine different countries, teaching me about storytelling by showing me both the beauties and the complicated histories of our world. More importantly, I have gained the perspectives of the people I have met. Learning Spanish has given me a global view of the relationship between literature and language. Overall, my undergraduate experience has broadened my horizons and developed my writing craft. In applying to graduate M.F.A. programs in Creative Writing, I hope to one day become a professor and teach at the college level, helping students find their own stories and bring them to life on the page.
