Good Strong Words

About Me

My name is Rachel Mininger and I am an English Literature enthusiast. In 2023, I graduated from Virginia Military Institute with Distinction and Departmental Honors in English. I also earned concentrations in Literary Studies and Writing and Rhetoric. I currently work as a High School College Advisor, but my long-term goal is to continue my Literary research as a professor. So here, you will find some of my previous work and my current curiosities. Some of my favorite areas of interest that I write about here are American Transcendentalism, Romanticism, and Victorian Gothic. When I am not studying or working, you can normally find me hiking, running, or reading fantasy and romance novels.
