I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and attended a private Quaker school from first grade up until my senior year of high school. T I am now a rising junior at Trinity College where I major in English with a concentration in creative writing and minor in Women, Gender, and Sexuality. Throughout my first two years of college I expanded my interest in creative writing, as I learned how to successfully write and edit both poetry and short stories, while I also became heavily involved in the women’s movement and feminist theory.
