I'm a college student studying creative writing in Baltimore, Maryland, where I serve as editor in chief of our lit mag, work as a peer tutor in the campus writing center, and act as the curriculum director for the Read-a-Story, Write-a-Story program in a Baltimore elementary school. My passion in writing is short fiction, especially experimental, flash, and spec pieces. I'm also involved with various activist publications, blogs and projects that focus on radical mental health and issues of gender identity.
