A Fada Oriana by Sophia de Mello Breyner And...

It tells the story of a fairy in charge of a forest and its inhabitants.

I want to make part of that process.Īs a child, I loved A FADA ORIANA (THE FAIRY ORIANA) by Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen, a Portuguese poet and writer. I’m aware of how books impact my children’s skills. When I did, I knew I wanted to write for children in the middle-grade stage. I’m always fascinated with the quality of the books and stories that authors bring to life.Īs I invested more and more in my writing career, I decided to risk out Creative Writing. We read fiction, nonfiction, comics, and everything they show interest in. It’s the best fuel for their soul, creativity, and knowledge. And we read together in English and Spanish. Even now that they’re autonomous readers (and read in Portuguese), I read to them.

From the moment they showed interest, I invested my time reading to them. Throughout this journey, my children grew. And I'm a level 4 Copywriter from the College of Media and Publishing. I’m a UX Writing certificate from UX Writers Collective. The more I dug in, the more I learned and fell in love with content creation. But the writing component was scarce in the market, and I didn’t have the budget to hire. While leading the UX team to design the best products, I needed to find UX writers. And I grew to be the Innovation and Creativity Team manager and the head of User Experience (UX). But I also loved mathematics and physics and decided to pursue a career in Engineering. I graduated in Software Engineering with a Master of Science in Information Networking from Carnegie Mellon University. Will you share a bit about your personal backstory and journey to becoming an author?
