A high school junior from La Canada, California. An avid reader and writer for most of her life, she's always found both solace and empowerment in the act of creating and sharing her work. Growing up in a small, mostly privileged town and observing the disparities between different racial and socioeconomic groups, she seeks to remedy those consequential gaps in the educational system, as well as uplift the overlooked voices of minority groups within her community through her storytelling. When she’s not absorbed in literature or furiously typing away on her computer, she can be found drawing, trying to teach herself a new language, taking strolls around her neighborhood, or just chatting away with friends and family.
