Just a year ago, everyone im Puerto Rico was dreading the monster that was coming for us. We didn’t even know how strong it would really be or what it would mean for our island and all its citizens. We were all just bracing ourselves and getting everything ready as best we could to survive a hurricane like we had never seen before.
Here is the last thing I wrote before María hit us:

Hurricane María
And my Tweets:



As I wrote and posted everything, I was trying to be strong, hoping and praying everything and everyone would be ok. I’m sure everyone was thinking the same thing and nobody was ready to face, not only what would happen during the hurricane, but what would happen after.
It was just getting started on September 19, 2017, before María.

I’m an aspiring writer still looking for exactly what I want to write about, with a lot of creativity, imagination and desire to write.
I studied Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University where I explored many different sides of writing through my classes and extracurricular activities in order to narrow my search for an identity as a writer.
I have written for Citrus TV Noticias and La Voz magazine, both of which gave me the chance to explore different mediums in which to write in. Through Citrus TV Noticias I also gained experience in translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, which is also something that I would be interested in working on since I am fluent in both of these languages. I was also an intern at Syracuse University Press where I got hands on experience in what goes into actually editing and publishing a book.
Through out the last four years I have faced a lot of challenges, which helped chape the person I am today. After being in a tragic car accident, being in comma, having a Traumatic Brain Injury, and being in therapy for over a year, I am a new me, willing to face challenges and knowing how to deal with them. I want to write about my accident and life after it to help others, show them it can be done and help in any way I can.
