Poetry or Prose: Poetry

Favorite author: Sarah Dessen consistently, but I’m reading something delicious by Stephane Audeguy, so I’m going to explore him a bit more.

Person in history you’d most like to party with: Ben Franklin.  Smart, and took it international.  Expert at everything, including tearing it up.

Favorite place never been to: Russia.  There’s such a mystique about it and so many dimensions.  It would be interesting to see the history in person, especially in contrast to what it’s like now.  The language is also very beautiful.

Poetry or Prose: Prose

Favorite author: My taste ranges from the tame to the wild, but a good romance novel is always welcome.

Hobby: I’m involved in several groups on campus, including the Jimenez-Porter Writers’ House and the English Undergraduate Association. I love learning new languages, and my next conquests will be, hopefully, French and Italian. I work in the Architecture library on campus, and I am also a tutor at the Writing Center. I am originally from Brazil and have been in the U.S. for the past six years. But, my true nationality is Avid Reader.

Favorite place never been to: Vietnam, because when I talk to my friend from Vietnam and how she misses it, I feel like it’s a part of myself as well. I’ve started a novel on a family that moves from Vietnam to America and feel I have to go to finish it.
