a bit about me
I’m a former homeschool student who began my CT State degree program at age twelve. Music, writing, and visual art are the primary ways I explore ideas and shape my creative voice. My musical interests span many genres, with a background in classical, jazz, and rock. In writing, I’m drawn to imaginative storytelling, especially sci-fi, horror, comedy, and graphic texts, where I build worlds and experiment with narrative. Visually, I work in sketching, painting, and ceramics, exploring form, texture, and color. I also study Japanese at the college level and have recently begun exploring an interest in medicine.
