I am an emerging writer writing, predominately, in the fantasy and epistolary genres. My authorial goals are to integrate my love of the Classics and psychoanalytics into the fantasy genre in order to utilize many of the genre's conventions to explore questions of personal trauma, joy, and self-actualization. I am a graduate of Iowa State University's Creative Writing & Environment program. As such, all of my works deeply investigate place and its pull on the development of individuals and societies.
