Kilanys Shadey Marti-Marrero ’28

Kilanys Shadey Marti-Marrero is a freshman with a passion for the arts, currently pursuing her academic journey. Born in Caguas, PR, and raised in the Bronx, New York, she dreams of making a name for herself in the heart of New York City. Her creative path has always been guided by a love for the arts, in all forms. Although writing has always been a passion of hers, it wasn’t until fall of 2024, when she took Professor MaKenzie Copp’s College Writing class, that she truly felt her work was valued. She is incredibly grateful to have been considered in sharing her work in Expose alongside other great writers.
