Majors: Comparative Literature
Favorite Book: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

Reading has created such an impact in my life that I decided to dedicate my studies to literature and how it reflects the world around us. Every book to me is inspiring in some way, and when I read the words of others, I think that this is what I want to do with the rest of my life. I want to write stories that help people either escape the world they’re in or understand the one around them. Reading has helped me find myself again in a time when everything seemed so lost. I want to help show others the power of books because they have helped me when I needed them the most.
