I am a 24-year-old recent graduate of Columbia College of Chicago. I received my BA in Screenwriting, while minoring in Fiction Writing. I have nothing but the strongest passions for writing, be it a novel, a short story, or a script. As author Leo Rosten once said, "The only reason for being a professional writer is that you just can't help it."
