I am a grad student in the English program at CSUN with a BA in Creative Writing. In addition to working on campus as a supplemental instruction leader, I've also worked for three years as an English tutor and writing consultant in the Writing Center at Pasadena City College. My poetry has been published in the Northridge Review and in May 2015 received an honorable mention award for the Academy of American Poets Prize contest. In my spare time I like to read fiction novels, write creatively, and go on nature hikes. My favorite composer is Camille Saint-Saƫns.
