Hi, I am the author of the memoir The American Nightmare and the Art of Failure: Life with PTSD.  I am currently in my fourth year at the Rochester Institute of Technology studying psychology. I maintain a 3.9 GPA and plan to pursue my Ph.D. in Clinical or Cognitive Psychology with the goal of helping trauma victims recover from the mental toll trauma takes on us. 

I enjoy writing fiction as well and am working on a couple of projects at the moment. I also enjoy writing poetry and psychology/philosophy material.

I hope you enjoy my work, and please leave me a review so I know what is working, and what could be better.
