I have been an avid reader since the age of 8, and when I was 12 I participated in a creative writing contest at school and discovered that my English teacher really liked my work. I was only 12 then, but overjoyed by my teacher’s reaction, I started enjoying the process of writing more and more over the years. What began as a mere playful exercise, gradually turned into a passion for writing short stories, poems and blogs.

I continued as an editor through my senior year as well, and was awarded the Journalism Color by the student council.
