I have an AA in English, as well as having tutored creative writing for over three years. In my experience, I have educated those of high school and college ages, as well as a variety of others. I have helped to co-run a highly popular creative writing site for almost seven years, where I have hosted contests, judged stories, written reviews, and participated in multiple events. Additionally, for my own background in writing, I have participated in National Novel Writing Month since 2016, where I have been an active member of that community and have won every single year which I participated in.
