I graduated from the University of Arkansas in May 2019 as a double major in Political Science and Philosophy, with minors in Legal Studies and English. I've shared a love for reading and writing poetry since I was in middle school; I find it to be incredibly therapeutic. One could argue that Poetry is the most loyal friend I've ever had; she has allowed me to fully express myself at times that I was hesitant to and served as a safe haven during times of trauma. From writing about the blissful days of being a teenager in high school to more challenging ones to poems about heartache, grief, and trauma-- poetry has always been there.
