I've grown up and lived in the 匹兹堡 area all my life, attending both Carnegie-Mellon University and the University of 匹兹堡. 卡内基梅隆大学, I majored in physics with the intention of going on into astronomy and writing science fiction in my off-time. Though I still write science fiction, I soon pursued my first interest of reading and went on into English literature instead. I've been at Seton Hill for some time and have loved all my years here.
