Bio

After years of deliberating between my passion for writing and my love for animals, my undergraduate experience has led me to a blended interest in exploring human-animal relationships from a humanities perspective. Mainly, I am interested in research on animal literary studies with a focus on animal aesthetics and their role in human culture. Much like my academic and research goals, my dream career is one where I can contribute to a better understanding of animals' impact on human society. I have participated in numerous internships and projects that have enabled me to develop communication skills, including reporting, entertainment writing, and social media copywriting. Having continued access to these opportunities will allow me to achieve my life purpose in bridging humans and animals into a more empathetic coexistence.
