ABOUT ME

Hi there! I'm an animal-loving, music and book enthusiast who just happens to also be a writer, photographer, graphic designer, and editor. While working towards my bachelor's degree from Franklin College, I had the pleasure of working with awesome people for two publications—The Franklin News and TheStatehouseFile.com. After graduation, I'll be starting as the Regional Editor for the Corydon Democrat and Clarion News.

Why this topic?

Ever since I was a little girl, I've had my nose stuck in a book. I've always been very fortunate to have amazing teachers, who helped foster and nurture that love of reading. It all started when my first-grade teacher saw how much I loved to read and knew I could handle a challenge, so he gifted me the box set of all 7 Harry Potter novels for Christmas. I went on to read them all before starting 2nd grade, and those books are some of my most prized possessions to this day. The Harry Potter books are among some of my favorites that have been banned in the past.
