My academic and extra-curricular interests are varied and quite ecclectic. My academic study has been centered on British and early-American women writers, though my true passion is children's literature. I have presented at both local and regional conferences, and my writing has been featured prominently on my college's website. My ultimate goal, academically, is to earn a Ph.D. in British literature. Throughout the course of my academic adventure, I have sought out new opportunities to explore my ecclectic interests in both academia and creative venues.
