I am currently attending Harvard and pursuing a degree in Humanities. My passion is books and writing. Books taught me things about myself, the world, and society in ways I never thought possible. It is thanks to books I know who I am and allowed me to discover my passion for writing.

Thanks to every bookish bestie in the book world, it has allowed me to spread my joy of reading to people worldwide!
