As a high school student, the majority of my free time was devoted to writing—poetry, fiction, non-fiction, you name it. So when I began my undergraduate, there appeared to be no other choice than to major in creative writing. But after two years of studying craft and technique, I felt that my learning had run dry. I decided to double major in English literary studies and anthropology instead so that I might learn more about the world and, in turn, write about it.
While most of my publications are from my first two years as a creative writing major, I still continue to write whenever I had the time, and have even had the opportunity to be editor-in-chief of two on-campus journals (Untold: UVU's Interdisciplinary Honors Program Journal and Vera de Nobis: UVU's Journal of Anthropology and Folklore).
