Creativity was always something that I admired. Whether it was an innovative commercial that I had seen on TV or a song that I had heard on the radio— recognizing creativity became the daily norm for me.

At an early age, I had the belief that creative thinking would be my strongest asset. In school, I struggled to overlook the methodical nature of each class—specifically math, which was something I could never fully grasp. However, writing became the one subject in school that sparked and held my interest. While most of my friends loathed it, I found writing to be empowering and inspirational. There were no boundaries to writing like in math or history. Writing proved to me that anything could be perceived as relevant; writing, in a nutshell, became my strongest tool for using my creativity.
