About
With a long-term relocation to New York City made official, I am seeking to continue my career in literature with an organization that values preserving a forward-looking, engaging environment for their readers and writers alike. My ideal position would be with an institution that allocates opportunities to empower readers beyond the page. Past opportunities to do so include educating our future generations at the high school level; however, as I venture into more hands-on writing opportunities, I’m looking for an establishment that strives to fuel sanguine activity within their community.
