About Me
My literary journey is marked by a commitment to exploring women’s narratives, feminism, and power dynamics, drawing inspiration from icons like Margaret Atwood and Carmen Maria Machado. By night, I’m crafting my debut novel — a coming-of-rage YA story that explores the complexities of girlhood, power, and rage within a patriarchal world. After being transformed against her will into a powerful weapon, sixteen-year-old Edana Kenna must decide whether her newfound power is the key to reclaiming her humanity — or tools for burning down a world that punishes girls for their strength.
I’m a Rhode Island native and aspiring author. I graduated from the University of Rhode Island in 2023 with dual degrees in English Creative Writing and Studio Art Graphic Design, complemented by a minor in Business Innovation & Entrepreneurship. With a perfect 4.0 GPA, I earned prestigious scholarships, showcasing expertise in Fiction, Poetry, and Creative Nonfiction during my undergraduate years.
By day, I work as a copywriter. Outside of that, I share the process of writing my debut novel with an audience of nearly 30,000 across social media, and I’m also the founder of Page One — an online writing and reading community dedicated to supporting and inspiring others.
