I’ve been writing fiction since five years old, never tiring of the challenges and surprises that come with it.
I graduated from WSU in 2013 with a Bachelors in Psychology. During my time at WSU, I tutored a fellow student and served as a Teaching Assistant in a PSY101 class. It was then that I started gaining interest in teaching. In February 2017, my sister began a volunteer Creative Writing workshop at her local library, and I joined as her co-instructor. COVID put an indefinite pause on the workshops, so in late 2020 we started a writing Youtube Channel.
In February 2019, I joined the team of writers at StrideStar Studios, an indie videogame developer and worked with them for several years. In 2021 I began developing my first indie game (with some help, of course)! In 2023, I started up my first independent Youtube Channel, focused on gaming (my 2nd love).
I started a blog on Tumblr years ago when writing video game reviews for my job’s newsletter committee. I eventually started doing some other media reviews as well, mostly TV shows. It was when my 29th birthday came closing in on me that I decided I wanted to write about life for awhile, about my experiences in it, about being a woman, about being a millennial growing up in this world. So I started a series called “Goodbye My Twenties”. I found that blogging as a way of journalism is therapeutic, and if it reaches others and helps them through tough times, even better. Sometimes you just need to know that someone gets it.
My twenties ended, and with it, that blog series. Now the majority of my writing is done via my Youtube Channel and my videogame project, as well as piecemealing together my 2nd novella. I’m looking forward to seeing where this decade takes me.
