Mariana (she/her) is a recent graduate student from the University of South Florida, where she foolishly earned a Master’s degree in Liberal Arts with a concentration in Film Studies. She’s a proud mother of one beautiful little schnauzer named Pepe and a lover of all things trauma theory related. When she’s not rewatching The Leftovers, Mariana may be found rewatching LOST as a means to finally understand the human condition, one traumatic show at a time. A must-read for her is Hanya Yanagihara’s A Little Life.
