CURRENT MISSION

To Be

ABOUT ME

As adjectives: Attentive, calm, witty, punctual, autonomous, mindful, inquisitive, curious, and autodidactic.

As a fleshed-out sentence: I split my time between my studies, my writing and other extracurricular obligations, and my band.

Ultimately, if I'm getting my writing published and playing music, I'm the happiest person I can be.

I try to always look forward to the future.
