Biological Sciences and Psychology Majors
I am a fourth year student at the University of Pittsburgh as a biology and psychology double major. This is my third year working for Forbes and Fifth. I love science, animals, and half baked Ben and Jerry’s. I joined Forbes and Fifth because I enjoy hearing other people’s stories and writing. I think writing is therapeutic as well as a great outlet to express yourself and I want to help people do that. I was intrigued by Forbes and Fifth because of my love for writing, but inability to find room in my schedule to do it myself. I hope to help writers polish their pieces and introduce people who did not consider themselves writers to a new passion.

Neuroscience Major
Hello! I am a second-year student at Pitt from New Jersey majoring in Neuroscience and minoring in Chemistry with a certificate in Conceptual Foundations of Medicine. As a STEM major, a lot of the literature I interact with is scientific, but the interdisciplinary nature of Forbes & Fifth allows me to find a balance between the sciences and humanities. I’m excited to work with individuals, many of whom are fellow undergraduates, to publish their work to express their backgrounds, experiences, and ideas! In my free time, you can find me building scale model houses, painting portraits, or eating at my favorite Thai restaurant (Kiin Lao in Squirrel Hill!).

Accounting and English Writing (fiction) Majors
I am a third-year student at Pitt double majoring in Accounting and English Writing on the Fiction track. This is my first year at Forbes & Fifth. I want to help passionate creators spread their work. I also want to amplify the voices telling stories too often unheard or neglected.

Outside of the journal, I spend my time with music, plants, movies, comics, and trying to learn how to skateboard.
