Olivia Arocena

Writer and Editor

Olivia has been an official writer since the day she published her first poetry book at just 19 years old, but she’s been an unofficial writer since forever. After that came the publication of her Diaries, which she had been writing for most of her late teens and continues to do so today. One lucky day, she finally managed to merge her offline writing with her online persona and craft a blog, where she publishes more polished pieces aimed at a curious audience that can’t keep track of her many talents. She graduated from Drama School and is currently studying Linguistics. She is also chronically online, an avid reader, and a singer. A fascination with the many ways humans communicate is what drives her work and interests.
