Hi, I'm Katie.

I am a current undergraduate student majoring in English Liberal Arts at the University of West Florida (UWF). I have worked at the UWF Writing Lab for a year, strengthening my grammatical and tutoring skills. I have recently finished my first semester-long internship at Ballinger Publishing, where I have been able to enhance my creative writing, editing, and research skills. I published several stories while interning there, and I have linked a few of these below.
