I began to pursue writing in junior high, when my first short story was read to the class and applauded. At that moment, I knew this is what I wanted to do. I wrote through high school and college, joining the staff of the literary magazines and becoming Editor-in-Chief of my college literary magazine. I submitted and was published in many of these magazines' issues. I am now a Technical Editor but have not given up on my passion. I appreciate all genres and styles and love to challenge myself.
