I am currently a freelance writer for both Streamline Media and Solid Rankings. I was born and raised in South Bend, IN, near the prestigious Notre Dame University. I earned my Bachelor's degree in English and have written content and short stories for ABC57 News, Analecta, LifeSavvy Media, and Kansas City Voices.

When I'm not reading or writing, I enjoy spending as much time as I can out in the sun, skateboarding, filmmaking, and traveling, though my interests are constantly changing! Work Experience
