Brief Biographical Sketch:
I love writing in all its forms, and at Yale, I serve as co Editor-in-Chief of The Yale Globalist, a quarterly print international affairs magazine. I also write columns, essays and long-form journalistic pieces for the Yale Daily News, and was a Scholastic Art & Writing Awards National Medalist for writing portfolio and a fiction finalist in Columbia College Chicago's Young Authors competition. This year, a short film I wrote was selected for the Yale Film Festival. I'm from Portland, Oregon, and I love Parks and Rec and drinking coffee with vanilla soymilk.

If we truly write the story of our own lives, how can we do so with purpose? How can we practice our powers as creators of our own reality, both on and off the page?
Sincerely, Sweet Potato approaches writing with a curiosity towards what we wish for, alongside an appreciation for all that is already going well in our lives that we may not immediately recognize.
Through creative writing and the arts, we will notice and build upon people who choose to reframe their struggles or injustices in order to build new worlds and ways of being. Exercises will include collaborative creations and discussions, guided free writing, and learning how to find to our own intuitive voice.
Together, we will seek greater opportunities and courage to move towards our wildest dreams.
