Hello, My name is Katarina Smith, I just transferred in from an illustration major to a creative writing major. I work in multiple mediums and write in several genres. I am currently working on my first book. I have always been interested in anything mysterious and I love to travel. I've been to 34 states so far. I'd love to work for Ahe Atlas Obscura one day. If you want to know anything else, just ask me. Thank you, Kat.
