About

I love to write, and I love sports, baseball and basketball in particular. It seems like working here is a good fit. As a junior at the University of Vermont, writing is a great outlet for the creativity not always required by my accounting and statistics courses (those are my two majors). My athletic resume consists of power soccer which is the fastest growing sport for power wheelchair users.
