children's books

I've always loved words and written stories. I still have a childhood story where every animal has a unicorn horn!

My writing abilities have been honed by many teachers and courses over the years, notably:

The Verge Program (current member):

• Bethany invited me to join, on the strength of my craft.
• I'm working on my craft and marketing with Bethany and The Verge team, plus mentorships with an agent, an author, and an editor.
• 
  

At Princeton:

• I took a children's book course with Ulrich Knoepflmacher and received the only A+ my teacher had ever given.
• I took four creative writing courses: Two with Edmund White, one with Joyce Carol Oates, and one with Jeffrey Eugenides. 

At UC Santa Cruz:

• I was a section teacher (AKA teacher's assistant) for multiple creative writing courses under professors including Karen Yamashita and Micah Perks.
