I've enjoyed writing short stories since I was a little girl, and often fashioned my own "books" with a stapler and some paper -- on which I wrote and illustrated.

I took a sabbatical from creative writing in college, where I instead focused on research papers and analyses that sucked the creativity out of me.

I came back to journaling in 2017 and started publishing on Medium, as a way to cope with devastating life changes -- pouring out my soul (somewhat anonymously) with words. These days, I use Medium to continue journaling, as well as dabble in fiction short stories and flash fiction, and see where my creativity and imagination take me.
