Statement: I am a writer with a focus on fine art, entertainment, and philosophy. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in philosophy from North Carolina State University, studying under Neo-Kantian Michael Pendlebury. In 2013 I won the Washington, DC Jewish Community Center Award for Excellence in Essay Writing for their Fall Literary Festival. Deep thinking and criticism is my personality and disposition, and even when I am not physically writing, I am criticizing and digressing.
