Professional Biography

I have been the arts division coordinator (and participant) of a high school robotics team known as The Pink Team: Roccobot . I have won third place in the Brevard County Writing Contest in the novels division in 2007. I have also worked for the Society of Women Engineers as a summer camp councilor for three consecutive summers teaching young girls about programming robots and helping them explore science and technology. In my robotics environment I have had to communicate between those in their teens and adults on the team and in the program. I believe these experiences have helped develop my sense of creativity and teamwork and have added to my experience of completing many successful projects such as art exhibitions at competitions, robotics team informative pamphlets for both students and adults, and successfully inspiring and selling art painted with a robot.

Personal Biography

I was born in Scarborough, Canada and enjoyed living in the snowy climate before my family moved to L.A. and then Florida. What made the sunshine state the most absurd to me was the total and complete lack of lovely snow in winter. I carried neither a Canadian accent, nor an obsession for hockey games over the border. I did, however, carry over a love of horses, and a thirst for stories.

As soon as I could lift a pencil I have been writing stories and drawing. I spent most of my time as a bookworm, digesting countless stories and then composing my own, for which I would compose complimentary pictures. The tendency to endlessly consume books, and write and draw nonstop carried through to my college years in which I currently reside.

I at first decided on a biology major in college and planned on becoming an equine veterinarian, but I soon realized that I could not let go of my love for writing. Now I am happily a creative writing major and I have hopes of publishing and in the future look forward to becoming one of the following: editor, creative writing professor, writing professor, or one of many more options.

In the future I look forward to improving my horsewoman skills, and I would love to work in therapy training for horses.
