I am a storyteller. Writing stories and transporting people into different sceneries and emotions is my absolute passion. Hence why I studies Business Communication, to help businesses communicate with costumers. But I also enjoy translating and editing, so that other authors and storytellers can get where they need to go. Recently, I decided to amplify my communications skills to design, a strong visual way to connect to people, hence why I'm now an Editorial Design Masters Student.
