I believe that I am a unique person: in my writing style, my fashion, and my perspective. I like to shake things up in a quiet, gentle way. I like to use my words to convey big ideas, strong feelings, and new viewpoints in a simple and sophisticated manner. And the glue that ties all of that together is my passion for life. I have a passion for this awe-inspiring earthly existence and of the people that make it great. Every human as a story, and each one is worth reading. I want to read, hear, and experience as many stories as I can because I can learn from each and every individual that crosses my path. With the Odyssey, I would want to encourage the sharing of these unique human stories, especially as they relate to Truman State University and that the opportunities that it offers. Truman has opened up my world in ways that I never thought possible and I would hope to showcase how small places can have a big impact.
