Sophia Scott
Harvard College Class of 2025
Hi, my name Sophia Scott, and I am a first-year student at Harvard planning on studying a concentration in the life sciences. I’m from Los Angeles California, and I’m currently living in the Prescotts (Maple Yard) on campus. I’m most looking forward to helping young authors find their literary voices in the Storywish program.
My favorite children's book is “The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and a creative writing tip is to start typing with auto-fill suggestions and use your imagination from there!
MaKaelyn Thrash
Harvard College Class of 2025
Hi, my name is MaKaelyn Thrash! I am currently a first year at Harvard living in The Inn. I hope to concentrate in neuroscience or biomedical engineering on the premed track. I am from Vancleave, MS. I am most excited to build a bond with my mentee as well as helping them accomplish their dream of publishing a story. My favorite children’s book is Winnie the Pooh. A writing tip I have is to always follow your heart when it comes to your story!
