Davis, California

My love of reading began at a very young age. I remember begging my parents to read me just one more book before I went to sleep. Once I was old enough to read on my own I would stash various flashlights in my room so that if one got taken away I would have another on hand so I could read in the dark. Over my lifetime, I have read hundreds of books, ranging from autobiographies to science fiction. There is nothing like getting lost in a good book. On that note, my top five favorite books are I WILL ALWAYS WRITE BACK by Caitlin Alifirenka, Liz Welch, and Martin Ganda, BEFORE I FALL by Lauren Oliver, OUT OF MY MIND by Sharon Draper, PROOF OF FOREVER by Lexa Hillyer, and The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. All of these books have made a lasting impact on my life and shaped me into the person I am today.

When I’m not immersed in some fictional land you can find me at the softball field, rewatching "Gilmore Girls" for the third time, biking around my town with my friends, or listening to music (most likely Billie Eilish). My other obsessions include traveling, eating way too much ice cream, photography and sleeping.
