I received my MFA (master of fine arts) in creative writing from the University of South Carolina in 2021. One aspect of the program was working in the writing center for one year, where I developed my skills as an editor. I have edited two novels of 260 and 375 pages for everything a novel can be edited for: grammar, clarity, meaning, flow, narrative, etc. I was the editor of the sports section for the Trinitonian (as well as a weekly columnist) during my senior year at Trinity University. Additionally, I taught 4 semesters of English and Rhetoric to freshmen at USofC, where I graded a lot of papers, and wrote a collection of short stories as my thesis.
