About

I am an English literature and writing graduate of Hood College. I found my love for literature while studying at Hagerstown Community College, where I obtained my Associates of Arts in English. My favorite genres are Classical Literature, Mythology, and Folklore. I hope that one day I will be able to share my enthusiasm for research and knowledge as an academic librarian.
