Anxiety Controller




Micheline Denn works as an aerospace engineer and shares a love for language and poetry in her spare time. While her daily work often includes mathematical equations and data analysis, she enjoys tapping into her creative self to produce works that bridge the gap between a scientific mind and an artistic soul. Micheline’s poetry often focuses on capturing and emulating specific emotions, especially as they relate to memory, mental health, and the discontinuity between the inner self and the presentation of oneself to others. Micheline recently graduated from the University of Notre Dame, and currently resides in Connecticut where she enjoys rock climbing, painting, music, and hiking.
