I’ve been writing since childhood, eventually pursuing both English and Creative Writing in my undergraduate and graduate studies. My time at Seton Hall University was particularly impactful, as the courses I took there truly taught me to view writing as a craft. This understanding has significantly enhanced my role as Editor-in-Chief, allowing me to appreciate writing as an art form and recognize the kind of quality work we seek to publish in our magazine.
