Creative Writing
As a lover of books, stories, and well-crafted phrases, I have had a passion for creative writing as an outlet for expression since I was in middle school. For this reason, I decided to pursue an English minor; I was able to customize my course selection to concentrate on creative writing and editing. The following is a sample of my creative work. The title of each piece links to a .pdf file that can be viewed and/or downloaded.
Poetry
I chose to enroll in two poetry-writing courses during my time at Penn State. Everything's an Antecedent is a chapbook-style portfolio of poems written in the Fall 2010 semester for Penn State's Advanced Poetry Writing (ENGL 413) course.
Prose
I chose to take several English courses that incorporated prose writing during my time at Penn State, including one short-story-writing course. In the Fall 2008 semester, I wrote a This I Believe statement in the style and format of NPR's This I Believe series for a self-directed assignment for Penn State's Freshman English Composition (ENGL 030) course.
