Hi! I’m Liv. I’m 16 years old, and I come from a little town called Dublin in the-middle-of-nowhere Georgia. I go to West Laurens High School, and I am a junior officer for SkillsUSA, and an At-Large representative for the Dublin City Youth Council. I first discovered my love for writing when I was 11, during quarantine. My mom had always encouraged me to read, which eventually inspired me to write a book of my own. Although the final product of the countless hours I spent in front of my mom’s laptop was no astounding work of literature, it did spark my passion for writing.

I hope to attend the University of Georgia and major in journalism so that I can go on to write for magazines or even be an author. Although I have not yet decided exactly what career I intend to pursue, I know that I want to spend the rest of my life writing. I believe that the University of Georgia would be an exceptional place to begin.

Aside from writing, I love to read. I read books of all genres, but my favorites are YA fantasy and romance. This year, I have read 20 books so far, and am working towards my goal of reading 50 books in 2024. The authors I tend to enjoy most are Emily Henry, Suzanne Collins and V.E. Schwab. I am also a pianist and have been playing for eight years. When I was young, I used to dread my piano lessons and beg my mom to let me quit, but now I am thankful that she made me push through. Playing the piano has become my favorite hobby and my proudest accomplishment. My preferred type of music to play is the classical style, such as Beethoven and Mozart, but I also love to arrange my own piano covers of pop music on my own time.
