Olivia Apatini is a senior at Tulane University majoring in English and Communications with a concentration in Creative Writing. She is from New Orleans and St. Tammany Parish, and she currently lives in Treme. She enjoys writing personal essays as well as poetry, much of which is heavily influenced by the city. Apatini has been building a collection of poems for the past four years that she’d like to expand and refine during her time in the woods. Though she has self-published before, she would love to eventually go the traditional publishing route with her current body of work.
