Angelina Davis is a senior Creative Writer at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts. Her preferred genre of choice is fiction and greatly enjoys creating stories with an element of mystery and families of choice. She imbues her characters with relatable flaws so their narrative foils can create satisfying turn-arounds and often finds herself drawing inspiration from people around her. In the future she hopes to either finish and publish a detective novel or begin the process of scriptwriting for animated television, each with a large cast of characters with great potential for major personal developments.

Davis will read a story at the Student Showcase at 3 pm on Saturday, December 2nd in the Main Auditorium F-128.
