I am from Apple Valley, Minnesota and am throwing myself into a culture shock by studying down south. I have loved writing ever since a young age. My father is a published author and my mother is a graphic designer, so I have always felt a strong connection to the arts. I am a criminal justice major with a psychology minor, but I am also extremely interested in politics as well. I plan on continuing on to graduate school to get a PhD and eventually become a professor of Criminal Justice. In addition to politics and justice, I am a giant animal lover, and human rights advocate.
