She is a published poet and has participated in many extremely competitive writing scholarships and summer programs including Kenyon Young Writers Conference and Iowa Young Writers Studio, and received a Silver National Scholastic and Writing Medal. She was recently recognized for her writing in the 2018 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards for the Arizona Region.
