Writing has become a nice way to express my thoughts. Graduated from the Autonomous University of the State of Hidalgo (UAEH), I have worked in different media and in areas of social communication, which have allowed me to learn about different sides of life. At 30 years old I consider myself independent, strong and inexperienced, so I learn to live one day at a time.
