About
Caroline Wood is a multi-talented creator with quality storytelling as her North Star.
She is the author of Nowhere Where the Honeybees Live, a young-adult novel she self-published as a full-time undergrad. With sold-out stock in local shops, the title is praised for its originality and prose. Upon graduating summa cum laude, the Loyola University English Department awarded her with the James Charles Cox Memorial Award for Literary Study and she spoke as the College of Arts and Sciences Student Commencement Speaker.
She is currently a Multimedia Specialist and Graphic Designer for her alma mater, working as art director and assistant editor on the academic journal, Nexus. Additionally, she blends her love of creative and analytical problem-solving in marketing, contributing to retail brands like Urban Botany and media platforms like The Qube.
In her free time, she illustrates, with her artwork featured in Kapwa Magazine and the Tales from the Garden comic anthology by Garden Comics. She volunteers as a literacy tutor for ESL learners.
