The Odyssey Online 

Writer 

I wrote articles for the University of Kentucky chapter of The Odyssey Online from January 2020 to August 2020. My articles covered a variety of topics including pop culture, black lives matter, origins of holidays, television and film reviews, and more. The experience taught me a lot about myself as a writer and I hope that you find some joy in these articles.
