Storytelling
I’ve come a long way from writing novels on my family’s desktop computer, but I never lost my love of crafting compelling narratives. At Virginia Tech, I have the opportunity to showcase my passion for storytelling to amplify the amazing faculty, students, and alumni in Industrial and Systems Engineering.
In my free time, I enjoy reading nonfiction, writing poetry and short essays, and championing local newspapers.
