Hi! I'm Ari, an amateur poet and short story writer and reader based in the United States! I've obtained some literary recognitions from the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, local poetry events and latin conventions (strange, right?), and have been published in various anthologies. I'm also the founder and editor in chief of a student-run publication at my school, centered around promoting public health.

Some of my favorite books include Lancali's "I Fell in Love with Hope," Ocean Vuong's "On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous," and Madison Miller's "The Song of Achilles." And whenever I'm in a reading slump, I'll (admittedly) turn to k-dramas, webtoons, or anime. . .

I'm also a voracious biology textbook consumer, avid bullet journaler, stationery addict, website designer strawberry pocky lover, and blogger! (a vast and random list of hobbies, indeed. . .)    

I'm here to grow as a writer, so please leave critiques and comments on my work! Thank you always for reading! <3
