About
Hey everyone! I am an Argentinian writer and photographer living in Florida. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and English/Creative Writing from the University of South Florida. I am also currently pursuing a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling, which is another one of my many passions. I use she/her/hers pronouns.In my free time, you can usually find me somewhere in nature, hiding among the plants and animals. I typically have a camera in hand and can often be found with my feet submerged in swamp water or climbing up a tree. I tend to travel with a book or two (or three) in my bag and I'm constantly daydreaming about poem and story ideas that may or may not get written. I am quite friendly, so if you'd like to chat about writing, photography, nature, or anything else you think I'd be up to,
feel free to get in touch.
Contact
I love getting in contact with other writers and photographers.Regarding writing, I particularly enjoy middle-grade and children's fiction, but I also write fiction, nonfiction, and poetry for adults, so any writer is welcome to reach out. I love receiving emails from agents, publishers, and publicists as well. I'm always excited to read recent releases, so if you would like to send a review copy of a book in exchange for a Goodreads review, feel free to send me a kind email.
