Bold PointsBio
I am a junior undergraduate student at the University of Dallas in Irving, TX, studying psychology. I am a creative and motivated individual and enjoy spending time in writing, music, crafting, journaling, studying the Korean language, and cultivating a mindful and positive mindset and lifestyle. I wrote and self-published a novel when I was fourteen, which incorporated humor and adventure with my Catholic religion and culture. I work as a copyeditor for my university's student newspaper and a pianist for my home parish. My big dreams are to learn the Korean language and work as a mental health counselor there for a few years, and to become an award-winning YA novelist. In pursuit of these dreams, I am self-studying Korean and resolved to practice it daily throughout this year, and I am easing myself back into writing my current novel after a writing slump last schoolyear. A simple description of me is that I am passionate about people. I desire to become a counselor who shows other people their beauty and a writer who artfully expresses that beauty for the whole world to see.
