I’m a violinist, a baker, an amateur photographer, and a reader. And I’m an English major.

It’s funny I’ve ended up as an English major, because I hated learning to read. Obviously I like it now, but only because my mom changed my mind. She taught me that by putting the words I was learning together, I could make stories of my own. She taught me to write, and it was magic. I loved everything to do with English after that. The promise of creating something new was the perfect motivation. It still is, actually. It’s why I’m an English major. That and I love to read (now). I think that’s about it.

One of my favorite books is Brandon Sanderson’s Steelheart.
