Hi, everyone! I’m so happy to meet all of you and I’m so glad you have decided to join me on this crazy murder mystery journey.
But before we get started, I want to take this time to introduce myself to all of you detectives!
My name is Sally Barrilla AKA Detective Writer! I’m a Latinx and Italian individual. I was born and raised in NYC by grandparents since I was six months old and I have been a huge lover of writing ever since I was a kid trying to learn English. I learned at a young age, just how much imagination and creativity can be brought about by words.
Just giving you a quick glance at how I look like!
Before choosing to make a blog and form a community, I was a Lehman College Spring 2020 graduate and English honor senior with a creative writing specialization and minor in professional communications aspiring to pursue a career in news journalism and writing.
I am also a fall 2019 Project Basta cohort, which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring students of color can obtain great entry-level positions. I am a semi-finalist for Fulbright Canada, a part-time Census outreach employee for a nonprofit organization Casita Maria, staff writer for the Lehman College undergrad journalist newspaper the Meridian and Spring 2020 editorial intern for G.P. Putnam Sons and Razorbill, and also former editorial blogging intern at Anschutz Public Relations.
I also recently obtained a position for Dormops, a student marketing company as a marketing associate, and strives to create new differences for people of color through my very own short stories, plays, and new digital marketing apprenticeship for COOP Careers.
I am super excited to meet all of you and forming new relationships detectives! Let’s go solving!
