My name is Aspen, and I read books morning, noon and night. I am going to be a senior in high school this coming year, and although I am currently 16, I will be 17 this September.  Reading is my top hobby. I am passionate about reading, and sharing my love of literacy with others.  Talking about books is one of my favorite pastimes, and discussing how movies are alike and different from the books is another one of my favorite things to do. When I graduate high school, I plan on attending college and then pursuing a career in the book industry, in either publishing or editing. In my free time, I scout for the Sea Turtle Conservancy, and volunteer with other environmental organizations, as well as contribute to a few book clubs.  It is such an honor to be a part of the Teen Board, and I can’t wait to share my literary thoughts with you!
