-On writing: In high school, my english teacher, who I had for three of my four years, hated me and always compared me to my older sisters. She would read my essays to the class as an example of what NOT to write. So needless to say, I am scarred from the past but I do enjoy writing. My biggest struggle with writing is managing how to be concise. I find that when I write, i like to get all of my thoughts onto the paper and come back later on and revise my word vomit into actual writing.

On Writing: I have never been fond of writing. I love to read and analyzing books is fun but when it comes to writing an essay and using what you analyzed as evidence is hard.

Favorite Quote: "Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line"

On Writing: I've always enjoyed composition and journaling when I was younger. In high school, I would always write last minute papers and would never revise them. I found out quickly in undergrad that this was not the best strategy. Now that I am writing more technical and scientific pieces for publication, I am still struggling to be cohesive, yet concise. I enjoy metaphors, flowing descriptive imagery, and attempts at humor. I find that I write best in pieces with lots of revision.
