I am just your average teenager. The only thing that is special about me is my love for analyzing storytelling. I’m interested in every means of storytelling: video games, movies, books... I love them all. Who knows? Maybe I’ll be the next Tolkien.

I’m quick to getting anxious and I have next to no public speaking experience but I am a big fan of TED talks and actually taking part in one is a dream come true!

Anyone Can Tell A Story

I’ll be talking about the steps of the hero’s journey, an outline created by Joseph Campbell in his book ‘The Hero with a Thousand Faces’. Writing a story is something anyone can do with the help of a formula...you too have what it takes to be a storyteller.
