    It was once said that "Everything in life is a changing experience, it is only a question of the magnitude.” During the summer of 2013, I had the fortunate opportunity to travel to a small and quaint village in Haiti. Chauffard may be little in size, and impoverished, yet it is so rich in generosity and love. It is evident the villagers, having weathered tremendous adversity, are desperate to rise above.

    I am most passionate about the fictional stories that I develop and the characters that go along with them. Because of this, I inspire to become a director, producer, and/or a scriptwriter for my own series rather than an author, but that’s another goal, too. My passion for creative writing stemmed from fourth grade, where I saw my group of friends and I as heroes, saving the world and conquering evil. Although I am no longer in contact with most of them, I still continue to develop the characters I based off of them to shape their own unique personalities and paths. Practically, all of my characters were based mostly off of my own experiences with people, characters from television series, real-life places, and more.
