About The Author
Oriana was born in New York City, 1994. Both of her parents came at young ages with their families to America, looking for a better life and future. Both ended up becoming educators at different levels of the learning system, her mother as an Assistant Director of an elementary school, and her father as a college professor for CUNY.
As a young girl, she explored many paths and career choices but she kept coming back to writing and it only solidified what she wanted to do with her future. She eventually found her way to CCNY and pursued her BA in English, concentrating in Creative Writing.
Oriana's first works were forged in the tough years of high school, surrounded by friends and classmates. She created worlds in collaboration with her friends which sparked her love in writing. Oriana created many means of self-publishing short works and works in progress through websites of her own and other programs that were created for new writers such as Fragment.com.
To this date, she enjoys teaching in non-traditional environments, sharing her love for writing and spreading her creative spirit everywhere she goes.
