Brendan Chuy is a 22-year-old second year English literature major at the Wolfson Campus of Miami Dade College. He is an editor in the campus’s literary magazine Metromorphosis, a writer for the Briefing section of The Reporter, and he has been inducted into Phi Theta Kappa at Padrón Campus and Sigma Kappa Delta at Kendall Campus. Chuy also works on worksheets for the Interactive Bilingual Reading Program in his spare time. He was born in Miami to two parents who immigrated to Florida at a young age from Nicaragua and Cuba, bringing many stories of their countries and family history with them. This was the start of his love for stories, and with his passion and education, he pursues the ultimate goals of an MFA in Creative Writing and a career as a published author. This lifelong passion for stories in all their forms has grown into a deep love for storytelling and its power to move readers by sharing the lessons learned through its characters.
