Resourceful problem-solver, not a quitter, life-learner, eager listener, strong leader.

I’m a former homeschool student who loves to search things out for myself and share what I find with others. Life is about communication, and I seek to learn how to communicate with people on various platforms and for various causes. Whether through writing, speaking, or audio/visual productions, I am always looking to share with the world. The heart of this passion springs from a love for God’s truth and a desire to glorify Him in this world. The result of this passion is a multiplicity of creative pursuits, as well as majoring in graphic design. My projected graduation date is May 2018.
