Welcome to Brazen Careerist!

About Me

I am a senior at Kenyon College in Gambier, OH. In pursuing my bachelor's degree in English, I studied at the University of Exeter in Exeter, UK, for my junior year. The program in Exeter was literature intensive allowing me to pursue a minor in history this year!

I have strong interests in magazine journalism and library science and would love the opportunity to work with the written word in any capacity.

I have completed seven virtual internships and I am currently working at The Center for Gifted Studies for the summer.
