Hobbies and Interests
I am a huge lover of reading and writing and have filled almost 50 journals in the last 10 years. I also love going for long walks outside, spending time with friends and family, and doing scrapbook art.
Brief Bio
I was born the oldest of seven (yes, seven) children and spent my childhood on a 12 acre farm in Panton, Vermont where my siblings and I played freely in the sheep fields and the small woods near our double-wide trailer home. When I was ten, my family moved to Essex where most of my family lived until just this past year. My family members are currently scattered throughout Chittenden county, with one brother in Indiana.
I was homeschooled my entire elementary, middle and high school career and as a senior, I participated in Vermont’s dual enrollment program where I both continued to take some homeschool classes while also doing a full-time college workload. After my senior year, I took a gap year and traveled to England all on my own at 18. I spent a month there, visiting the birthplaces and homes of some of my favorite writers including Shakespeare and Jane Austen. I even got the opportunity to attend a rendition of Romeo and Juliet at the Globe Theater in London.
