What I'm looking for
As a dedicated student at Mount Holyoke College, I am pursuing a Bachelor's degree with a focus on Creative Writing, anticipated in 2027. My academic journey has been enriched by a GPA of 3.88, where I have honed my writing skills under the guidance of professional teachers and published authors. I have successfully planned and completed a year-long Creative Writing thesis, showcasing my ability to manage long-term projects and produce high-quality work.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I have gained valuable experience through various roles. As the Residence Hall Work Chair at MHC Housekeeping, I am responsible for maintaining cleanliness and organization within the residence halls. My internship with the Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association allowed me to assist in daily operations, manage clerical tasks, and contribute to event planning for a large gathering. My diverse experiences have equipped me with strong teamwork, organizational, and communication skills, which I am eager to bring to my future endeavors.
