My name is Mark Nyman. I am 22 years old, and in May I will graduate with a Bachelor’s in English Literature and a Minor in Music. I currently work as a resident assistant for my university. I also have worked as a college writing tutor for 2 years. I have blogged for a site called the Hero Journal, which is the website for a podcast called Myrelationshipwithlove. I focused on writing about love, positivity, and hope. I was not paid for this, it was more of a hobby at the time. I excel at writing motivational poetry, themes, and other forms of writing. I support those going through sobriety and want to provide them the light at the end of the tunnel. I believe everyone needs support, and that writing is the best way to reach people’s hearts.
