Hello from Louisiana! I’m Vanessa!
Stemming from the vibrant neighborhood of East Los Angeles, I’m so excited and grateful to be exploring the rich history, beautiful communities, and delicious cuisine of New Orleans through the wonderful world of fiction.
I’m a rising Junior at USC, studying Narrative Studies with a minor in Screenwriting. I love storytelling and its ability to educate, connect, and inspire creativity amongst its readers. As an aspiring writer, I can’t wait to deepen my understanding of literature’s connection to culture and geography through this one of a kind experience.
