I was born in the early 80's in New York City and am the daughter of two wonderful Colombian immigrant parents. My upbringing was probably the best any child could have. I went to catholic school until college and grew up in an Italian neighborhood in Queens. My parents were very adventurous and loved to read and listen to all types of music which is probably where I get my creative side. My parents were very much about education which is why I majored in it at college. They were also the ones who taught me what it means to persevere and get ahead in life.
Being bullied at school was a huge issue I had to deal with growing up so I found an outlet in writing. I delved into writing at the age of fourteen and continued the hobby since that time. Many short stories and diaries filled with quotes and anecdotes have become my foundation for my writing now.
I think my greatest goal was accomplished earlier this year. I found myself in a dull routine and a career in human resources that I felt had nothing more to offer. I started travelling to break free of the monotony and during those travels I realized that what I wanted to do with my life was write. Stories started to flourish in my mind and soon enough I had completed a novel. Setting my mind to it I decided it was time for the world to get to know me
So here I am...excited about starting a new journey in life...although my talent is constantly being tested it is all about having the strength to persevere!
