Ollie Naber (she/her) is currently earning her BA in English and creative writing (publishing) at the University of Iowa. By day, she has a knack for overcommitting to extracurriculars; one can typically find her running errands around campus while scribbling titles for poems in her notebook. By night, Ollie's roller derby alter ego, Stitches, practices her hip-checking skills on unsuspecting teammates. It's this part of her life that she feels drawn to represent in her creative work.
