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.
On our fifth day in New York City we had to see another one of New York City’s history landmarks, Grand Central Terminal.

This place is huge so it … Continue reading New York City Day Five: Grand Central Station, Summit One Vanderbilt

I just got home from a two week vacation in New York City, where I had the best time. I didn’t relax, because I don’t think it’s possible to relax in the city that never sleeps, but I had so much fun. I saw so much of the city, places I had never seen the … Continue reading New York City Day One: Brooklyn
After going to three different Walgreens and waiting for over an hour, I got my flu and Covid vaccines yesterday. I got the Covid 2023-2024 updated vaccine, which is my fifth Covid vaccine.

Yesterday I gave running at the beach another shot. I went in the morning again so the sun wasn’t that bad but it didn’t rain this time so it was hot.

As usual, I was very excited about my appointment to see my neurologist for my 6 month visit. His first question, as usual, was if I had had any seizures.
