Well, time to make myself sound cooler than I am. I’m originally from New Orleans, but in 2017 I moved to Tuscaloosa with nothing but a college acceptance letter and a fiery passion for writing. Early on in life, I realized the importance of finding your voice. And once I found mine, I knew it would be impossible to shut me up. Seriously, I’m like your neighbor’s dog that won’t stop barking. I started writing in the safety of my room on a personal teen angst blog and eventually started freelance work. Since then, I’ve written for Pure Noise Records, Alabama Public Radio, and now I’m here to write for you!
