My Winding Path
I have been traveling since I was a kid and writing about travel since 2016. I started in the publishing industry as a Freshman at Penn State University. For a year, I studied print journalism and wrote for four different publications.
In 2017, I transferred my education to the University of Delaware where I picked up a double major in Writing and Public Policy. In the three years that I studied there, I served as the editor-in-chief of our college publication and began working as a structural editor for two of my professors. Editing syllabi and letters of recommendation eventually turned into textbook editing. When I graduated in 2020, I had served as the primary editor for multiple textbooks as well as hundreds of articles, pedagogical documents, and web pages.
Directly after undergrad, I began a Masters program at Tulane University in Health Policy and Communications. My path wasn’t quite like my peers. While they were driven by the world of politics and science, my heart was pulled toward storytelling and art. However, I found a way to combine my education with my passion.
I became the editor-in-chief of La Revue – a newspaper focused on healthcare, community, and New Orleans. I also took jobs as a graduate assistant, research assistant, and teaching assistant. I edited and wrote voraciously for each of these roles. I am now listed as a contributor in numerous scientific journals.
I completed my education at Tulane in May of 2022 with a 4.0 GPA, the award for best Master of Public Health Student in my department, and having served as Vice President of my college. I even gave the School of Public Health’s commencement speech at graduation!
Today, I work full time as lead editor for a medical publication and continue to share my tales of travel right here. Follow along, I think you’ll enjoy the journey.
