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. There is nothing like crafting characters and capturing the voice of a story, bringing it to life on the pages. Thanks to every bookish bestie in the book world, it has allowed me to spread my joy of reading to people worldwide!
