About Me

Writing for as long as I can remember, my obsession with magazines and digital media (from Highlights to Teen Vogue to Essence) has fueled my passion. As a New York City native and a curious Aquarius, I'm an emerging writer who encompasses a fresh perspective for creativity, initiative, and a strong work ethic in a fast-paced environment.
