Hello San Diego Writers, Ink, I’m overjoyed to be joining you as an intern this summer. My name is Bianca; I’m told my name means ‘white’ or ‘pure.’ I’m thrilled to announce that I am only half of the former and none of the latter. In The Secret Universe of Names by Roy Feinson, ‘Bianca’ is described as ‘The Talented,’ and I’ve humbly concluded that this book must be rooted in pure scientific fact.

I’m currently going into my second year of my MFA in poetry at the University of Houston. I’m from South Florida and before you ask, yes, we do cohabitate with dinosaurs.

My journey as a writer is pretty straightforward, seeing as I never had much of a choice— as it turns out, I’m terrible at everything else. Finding something you’re good at is one thing, but on the off chance the thing you’re good at is also the thing you love, that feels like divine grace. My goal as a writer is to see beyond logic, to create music, and to discover a world within our own (no biggie).

Thank you for reading a little bit about me. I’m looking forward to working with San Diego Writers, Ink, and who knows— maybe one day you’ll find me again as a name, this time, on a shelf in a bookstore.
