Writing has always been a passion of mine. As a child, I loved making up stories; I had an active imagination as a young girl. I never thought I could make a career out of writing, and I chose a different path when I entered college. In 2010 I moved from Queens, New York, to Orlando, Florida. I participated in the Disney College Program, thought hospitality was my calling, and decided to return to school for hotel management. After seven years in the hospitality industry, though, I realized this was not what I wanted to spend the entirety of my life doing. Before Covid-19, I worked in a preschool as an assistant teacher. I love working with children, but something was still missing from my life. No matter where I worked, I was unhappy and planning to leave within months. When my school closed in March 2020 to combat boredom, I started listening to crime junkies and watching hours of Dateline. I found what was missing in my life when my obsession with true crime began. It took a pandemic, but I figured out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life: share stories of victims and their murderers. Victims deserve to have their stories shared because no one deserves to lose their life at the hands of another. Murderers should have their stories shared so people realize not everyone is what they seem and not to be paranoid but be aware of who and what is around them. Now, I write full-time as my career. I am lucky to work at home with my husband and two cats. My entire day is devoted to writing. Your project will be in safe and reliable hands if my proposal is accepted. Thank you for taking the time to read this! I hope to work with you soon!
