I am a first year neuroscience major at the University of Montana.I grew up in Seattle, Then moved to the Bay Area between my sophomore and junior year of high school, and migrated to the mountains as soon as I got a chance to choose where I lived. I first found my love for poetry in eighth grade during a short intro to slam poetry in my Language Arts class, and have been writing ever since. Poetry is my form of drawing, and the way the words flow onto a page and then into the brains of those interested will never stop amazing me. I love nature and spend much of my free time there, so the natural world influences most of my poems.
