Author bio

Hi! I'm a 20-year-old writer and film student from Brazil. I'm passionate about the importance of imagery and beauty in a scene, both on-screen and on-paper.

I have a novel that I've recently finished writing, which is a sort of dark-humor story I've been working on since 2020, and hope to be able to get it out there someday. I'm open to all kinds of critique and welcome them in! My favorite thing to do in life is learn and I'm so, so glad that there are so many things that I don't know!
