About me

I am an avid learner who respects and pursues the arts, no matter what form (music, studio arts, written, dance). I want to continue learning and creating new things, and I hope I’m able to use the skills I learn along the way to serve others.

What I hope to get from this internship

During this internship, I want to continue to grow as a writer, in both poetry and prose writing. I am excited to meet and connect with different people of various perspectives, experiences, and writing styles. I also hope to learn a bit more about myself during this internship and what I hope to do with my life by allowing me to learn and do that various tasks required for publishing stories.
