Hello! I'm Natalia Carolina Villena, and my journey in the writing world began in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I was born on October 13, 1980. Since childhood, I've always aspired to be a journalist, and my initial encounter with the editorial world was through volunteering at Magendra Publishing while completing my high school studies.Over the years, my love for literature has been nurtured by diverse influences, ranging from Enrique Pinti, Pablo Neruda, and Edgar Allan Poe to Paulo Coelho, Terry Pratchett, and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. These great figures have shaped my narrative and didactic style, combining captivating stories with valuable lessons.As an individual with ADHD, discovering that my son shares this condition has transformed my perspective and goals. Although I gave motivational talks on bullying in Buenos Aires before knowing about my own condition and my son's, this serendipitous experience has further motivated me to advocate for children's mental health and raise awareness about the challenges faced by special-needs children.My commitment extends beyond the pages of my books; I aim to break stigmas and alter society's perception of special-needs children and their mental health. Through my writing, I share stories and knowledge to foster greater understanding and empathy in society.My journey in the literary world is a continuous learning experience and an opportunity to create awareness. Every word I write is intended to contribute to understanding special conditions in childhood and promote the significance of children's mental health.Thank you for being part of this journey. I hope you find inspiration and reflection on every page of my books!Read more about this authorRead less about this author
