ASU Prep Classes on Writing

I attended ASU Prep classes and seminars in creative writing. I gained new insights on writing and practiced other genres.

Writing contests

I won first place in a Spanish writing contest, Cuentistas. I also received a scholarship for a creative writing class held at Balliol, Oxford University. I was proud to receive an Impact Award and the Empowering Leadership Award from Imprints of Honor.

My languages

I love learning languages. I have the B2 level in Spanish, and I am sitting for the B2 French and German proficiency test this year.

Imprints of Honor

Imprints of Honor is a program in which high school students interview veterans and then write their story in a book compilation. This experience was truly amazing for not only me, but also for the veterans interviewed.

Creative writing at Oxford

I completed a creative writing course through Immerse Education at Balliol College, Oxford University. My tutor completed her Ph.D at Cambridge University and I was able to learn more about character development, sources for inspiration, and a myriad forms of writing. I also gained valuable insight into the world of publishing. Along with the knowledge I acquired, it was inspiring to meet new friends from all over the world.
