Welcome! My name is Victoria Martinez. I'm a native New Yorker and graduating business major at College of the Mainland. I am passionate about telling queer stories, whether it be in the form of prose, script, verse, or image. As an entrepreneur, I own and operate both an anime-inspired candle business and a multimedia production studio. I have a background in theatre and film production and have recently been dabbling in game design. This semester was quite the challenge with all that I pursued: honors contracts, symposium presentations, officer positions, literature journal duties, and a full courseload to boot! Through triumph and tribulation, I have reflected and grown, and I look forward to continuing my journey at University Houston-Clear Lake this fall.
