Angelines Yaport-Garcia

Angelines, born and raised in the Dominican Republic, immigrated to NYC in her teenage years and now resides in New Jersey. Defying all odds against her becoming a writer— rather than following in her family's footsteps with careers in medicine, business, accounting, or teaching—Angelines held on to her dream, graduated cum laude with a bachelor's degree in creative writing, and is now a professional freelance writer in fields of technology, marketing, and journalism. She is also a devoted and busy mom to four boys, who are the light of her life.
