I was 8 years old when I discovered my love and talent for writing. In March of 2008 I began posting my poetry pieces here on AuthorsDen. I received incredible support that I am immensely grateful for. By the age of six weeks old, I was adopted and raised in Washington State. I am currently approaching my 19th birthday, attending college with a B.A. focus in psychology/writing. Aside from studying, I also work a part-time job in fashion retail. I still enjoy poetry, but I have moved on to new heights in my life. As many of you know, I joined the YouTube community in June of 2007 and became quite known for my Ekaterina Gordeeva & Sergei Grinkov figure skating montages. Sadly (yet understandably), a couple of my channels were removed due to copyright claims on the music. Currently, I montage as a hobby, but don't post much on YouTube. I was an early talker, and very quickly learned how to use the sophisticated word. I like relating to fellow individuals, and blogging about my unique perspective and opinions on matters concerning my generation and issues of social justice. This is one job I hope to never give up. In my free time I try to focus on friends and family, my studies, and of course, living a balanced and fulfilling life. Sometimes I chuckle to myself and think: "I didn't even read much; I can't believe I got this far as a writer!"
