A native of beautiful Northern Nevada, I have spent the last three years traveling and studying in Europe and Australia. I have a love for language and literature, and my mission to expand my knowledge and abilities in these areas is never ending. After studying French at my home university as well as in France, the language has been an added inspiration to my writing style. Poetry has always been my passion, but has thus far been a personal hobby. My more recent poetry is inspired by my travels and my struggle to define myself and purpose no matter where I am in the world.
