Welcome to My Blog

  I am just another girl in Brooklyn whose dream and aspirations are as big as Burj Khalifa. Like many people who struggle to define their-self and figure out their present and future, it took me quite some time to acknowledge that I did not want to be an Early Childhood Educational Teacher. Sure enough I realized how therapeutic writing is for me and how much I would enjoy writing for the rest of my life.  I came across Journalism in a Google tab and became extremely excited as I learned more about the field, I knew I had to change my major immediately, so I did. My career goals as a journalist is to become a well-known writer as a columnist and publish fiction books. I write religiously in my journal every night. My journal pieces contain a lot of feelings, new experiences and all of my thoughts on “news.” Occasionally I will write a poem when I find beauty in a struggle or when I am Zen. I am taking my first creative writing class at LaGuardia and I liked being introduced to Truman Capote and his book “In Cold Blood.” To me, creative non-fiction is a style of writing that paints the picture for you and is real.
