About Me

I was born on the tenth day of the ninth month in the year 1992. The first time I opened my eyes I saw the city of Halifax and twenty-one years later I'm still staring at the same streets. Although I have been feeling wanderlust, at least for one more year I remain. I have been writing since early high-school and it would be a dream to someday become a full-time writer.
    Most of my work is in the form of poetry but I also have an affinity towards short stories and longer fictional pieces. I currently attend Dalhousie University and will be entering my fourth year in Honours Kinesiology. Although I’m not quite what I want to be yet, I know that eventually all of the puzzle pieces will fall into place. Until then, I’m in no rush to try to figure out my life. Another dream of mine is to someday become a professional athlete, currently I compete competitively in track and field as a triple jumper.
   I often get the feeling that I’m not so much living as I am pre-empting chapters to write about later—my life very much feels like a novel (in a genre I would likely write in). Often the lines between fiction and reality intermingle, leaving me unsure of what’s real and what is simply in my mind. Not only do I have a tendency take an event in my life and twist it into a make-believe story, I feel that the opposite may also be true, meaning that after I write a story I contort reality to fit into it. If there are two things in this world I love it’s a good metaphor and irony. I would even say I have a lifelong goal to search for and debunk both in as many situations as possible. Life is defiantly more interesting when treated as a literary analysis.
   I’m sure in the coming years I will continue to grow as a person and as a writer and I look forward to experiencing the journey. There is some much left to see, experience and embrace—I can’t even imagine what adventures will follow and that stories that will come about because of them.
