I am a current graduate student in my final semester of the CRDM program at NSU. Writing has always been a part of my life. My writing is a reflection of my identity and explores different people and parts of my life. I have always loved writing and hope to continue to include writing in my life and career.

Abstract
Author Statement
"This work is a part of a novel that I am working on about my dad's life story. I embellished the story for dramatic effect, but the story is true. What inspired me to write about my dad’s life was that growing up, I heard many stories about how different his childhood was, the different jobs he worked, and how he really wanted to come to the United States and I wanted to compile them in one place."
