ABOUT ME

I am an undergraduate student studying at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA, USA. I am pursuing an English major with a minor in Russian Studies. I hope to do some form of writing professionally after college and would love to connect my writing with my thirst for travel. When I'm not studying or writing I love to read, especially Russian literature. Other hobbies include pipe smoking, sudoku, and sports (lacrosse, basketball, and hockey are my favorites).
