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.
As we celebrate Three King’s Day today, my family can’t help but make fun of me for the stress and fear this used to cause me when I was growing up. During this holiday, the tradition is that the three kings who brought gifts to Jesus after his birth, bring children presents. The three kings, … Continue reading Three Kings Day
Happy 2024! I hope everyone’s new year is going well so far.

I may have been distracted … Continue reading Happy New Year 2024!
What a year! I don’t even know where to begin. It was a year filled with fun and sometimes not so fun experiences. I started the year with Covid I got during a trip to NYC and Boston.

Part of me feels like it hasn’t been that long since I graduated high school and another part of me feels like it was ages ago, but at has actually been fifteen years.

This morning I had scheduled the Meta Social Media Marketing Associate exam.

I was really worried because … Continue reading Got my Meta Social Media Marketing Profesional Certification!

I submitted my story for the Epilepsy Foundation last week. I was going to wait until they shared it on their website and Facebook but, since that hasn’t happened yet, I guess I’ll have to post it myself: I didn’t understand what they were telling me when my family told me I had epilepsy. How? … Continue reading Changing my epilepsy story

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