At seventeen, I graduated early from my small town alternative high school in Oelwein, Iowa. Days after, I moved to the slightly more populous Waterloo, Iowa, where I obtained my associate's degree in liberal arts. Then I transferred to the University of Northern Iowa where I received a bachelor's in literature and minor in creative writing, then pursued a master's in creative writing. 



Since graduating with my master's, I've won a writing contest about my experience in Graduate school and my essay was published on the QS Top Universities website ("My Experience with Grad School Stress and How I Overcame It"). Two of my short stories ("Leaves of a Tree" a father-daughter story and "The Story of Us" a queer love story) from my creative Thesis have also recently been accepted for publication; one with an online blog and the other in print as well as online.



I'm in the process of querying my book 'Between Heaven & Hell: A New Beginning.' You can read it here, so please do! And don't forget to comment, like, and share please!
