Revised Backstory

Collector persona (who is the collector of the collection)
Our collector is Ramona Killington, 28, of Boston, MA. She is currently a grad student at Boston University studying psychology. She is writing her dissertation on phobias and their relationship with adolescent minds. This collection is her dissertation.

Collection narrative/context (what is the backstory)
As a high school student, Ramona had a deep fear of public speaking. Her phobia affected her performance on the day of graduation when she was giving her valedictorian speech. Her fear overwhelmed her and she passed out before finishing. She knew that in order to fulfill her goals of becoming a professor of psychology she would have to overcome this fear of speaking in front of a crowd, so in college she made this a priority. Eventually, with practice, she overcame her fear and this inspired her dissertation about phobias and their rationality.
