I never know how to start a bio off, but here we go. Hi everyone, it’s Liv! I am a combination of messy curls, overflowing creativity, stubbornness (though I don’t like to admit it), and a whole lot of passion for writing. I have often been described as an old soul, and began journaling and storytelling as soon as I could write. I’m originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, but moved down to Orange County for college in search of more days dipped in sunshine, palm trees, and bohemian vibes. I spent a year at Concordia University, but will be transferring to Chapman University to study political science and journalism. I have a deep love for writing that I long to share with everyone, and find such timeless resilience in the power of words. As a naturally shy person, I have always found it is easier to communicate through writing, and long to share my personal thoughts and experiences with the world. I am in love with the idea of painting pictures in people’s minds, provoking thoughts, and inspiring others.

Besides writing, I am passionate about fashion, avocado toast, finding coffee shops, hoarding succulents, channeling my inner Rachel Green, and all things chocolate. I just recently started modeling and can’t wait to see where this opportunity takes me! I hope to encourage everyone who reads my pieces, evoke inspiration, and radiate positivity. I can’t wait for you to join me as I start this crazy, beautiful journey at Baltisoul!
