ACTIVITIES
In the time spent completing my education, I sought to better understand cultures, humanity, and languages so I studied in Southern France and shortly after moved to Rome, Italy. I worked in an orphanage in Oradea, Romania and while there developed my longing to help others. During graduate school, I focused on building my skills as a creative writer while also expanding my knowledge of literature.
