Howdy! I'm AJ, I'm 18 years old, and I'm an English major with an emphasis in Creative Writing. I hail from Anchorage, and this is my first year in the bustling metropolis of Juneau! I love all forms of writing, from prose and poetry to TV, film, and music. When I'm not doing my jobs or attending classes, you can find me wandering around Auke Lake and Auke Bay (or anywhere on the trails around campus) or working on personal projects in Egan and Mourant. I'd love to be a screenwriter one day, and my dream goal (if the stars align) is to write for the best work of ongoing fiction of all time, Doctor Who.
