She has a passion for the analytical essay form, delving deep into correlational and description research for various topics, such as constituency psychology, East-Asian foreign relations, and narrative theory within transformative literature.

That, or she opens a blank Google doc to start writing a new romance fiction on a whim, with an açaí bowl by her side.
