She attends New England School of the Arts with the intention of majoring in Creative Writing, hoping to one day become a published novelist. However, her confidence as a writer is shaken when she starts attending classes as she and her fellow peers hone their skills as critics and editors. Tiffany tries to temper her emerging self-doubt through her ambition by throwing herself into her work, whatever the circumstances. However, these workaholic tendencies cause her to neglect her friendships, romantic relationships and her own well-being.
