Additional Information
If you’d like, share any extracurricular activities, professional details, or personal experiences you would like TSN partners to know about you. Responses can be as brief or long as you’d like.

I spent my early twenties traveling and exploring the United States, living in Arizona and Florida before returning to my home state, Massachusetts. I tried many different jobs including real estate, personal training, and bartending. Through self-exploration, I realized that the only thing that would be fulfilling to me would be to become an author. I went back to college for the Fall 2023 semester and have worked extremely hard to maintain all A's in my classes. This semester, I am an editor of Pulp City, Holyoke Community College's literary magazine and am also featured in it. I am also an active participant of the creative writing club at HCC. I am interested in pursuing more internship opportunities similar to being an editor for a literary magazine. My main goal while in college is to publish a novel by the time I graduate from a four-year university.
