Anabeth Ratzlaff is a Sophomore at Allen Community College, and she is majoring in graphic design. Ratzlaff graduated from Ingalls High School in Ingalls, Kansas.

Ratzlaff joined the Allen Flame as a Student Contributor because writing is a passion for her and there is always a chance to learn something new while writing about it. After Allen, Ratzlaff has two possible career paths that she follow. Ratzlaff could either further her education or she could adventure out into the real world and start a formal work experience. Though, in her future, Ratzlaff dreams using her graphic desing degree to design movie posters for big corporations or end up doing freelance work.

Art has alway been important to Ratzlaff. She spent her entire high school life in the art room of her high school. Yet, along with art, Ratzlaff decided to give writing a try and ended up falling in love with it. She spends her free time working on her various writing projects and perfecting them all. Another thing Ratzlaff loves to do is explore the town around her, never knowing when she might find a hidden gem.

Ratzlaff is excited to write for the Allen Flame because it can help her in her own writing. Being a member of The Allen Flame writing team means a chance to write about what she loves and gives her an opportunity to share her passion with others.
