I attend the University of Miami (UM) on an academic scholarship, and I am majoring in English Literature and Creative Writing. Born and raised in Sarasota, Florida, I decided to continue my academic career in the “Sunshine State”. When I am not in school, I work as a home-school teacher at the Miami Learning Center, where I teach English and Literature. In addition to teaching and attending college, I work as a freelance-writer and reporter for magazines and websites across the country.
