Born and raised in New York City, Orliana is highly influenced by the diversity of culture and opinion by which she has spent her life surrounded. She graduated summa cum laude from the University of Chicago in 2021 after having majored in English Language and Literature, History, and Creative Writing, earning honors in all three.
Her work reflects her commitment to conveying true, complicated emotions through fiction and to telling the stories of womanhood.
And this is Sherlock! He’s very spoiled and high maintenance, so whenever Orliana spends too much time on the computer, he likes to walk over and slam it shut.
