Brianna Voltmer

Brianna Voltmer grew up in Northern Wisconsin and attributes most of her work to the sense of dreamlike wonder that the farming fields and overgrown glades fostered in her. Currently living in Iowa with the love of her life, Daniel Voltmer, she is pursuing a degree in K-12 ESL education at Emmaus Bible College. Following the completion of her degree, she hopes to one day found an ESL ministry back home in Wisconsin, all while continuing to capture the transcendence of ordinary life through her writing.
