I'm a self-taught writer with no formal classes in writing outside of 2 workshop classes. I recently graduated from the University of Alaska Anchorage with a Bachelors degree in Theatre. I use the education I received on humans during my time in the theatre program to create unbelievably realistic situations that bring out both the best and the worst in human nature. One of my bigger influences is Edward Albee, who has a tendency to lay out moral questions, but not answer them. My goal in writing is to reveal humans for what they are and leave the questions out there of if something is actually wrong or is that going too for.
I was just recently accepted into the University of Tampa's MFA program and I'm due residency in June. My goal is to become not only a published writer, but also to teach creative writing at a university level in order to inspire others and help them discover themselves more.
