Hi! I’m Amanda Vega, a 19-year-old girl from Puerto Rico, with a love for storytelling, creativity, and all things cinema. I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in English with a concentration in Film at Universidad de Puerto Rico-Mayagüez. I’ve always been the kind of person who finds inspiration in the little things, whether it’s a lyric that hits a little too close to home, a scene in a movie that stays with me for days, or a random moment that feels straight out of a movie.
I’m an aspiring performer, writer, and filmmaker who loves bringing stories to life. Throughout high school, I explored my passion for communications, journalism, and film, even getting the chance to work as a TV host and journalist. I’ve also written and directed my own short films, and I’m currently building my own production house, Flíkiti Films, to bring more of my creative ideas to life. Whether I’m behind a camera, writing a script, or simply brainstorming my next project, I’m always looking for new ways to express myself and connect with others through art.
When I’m not working on a creative project or buried in college assignments, you’ll probably find me listening to Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, or TINI, taking pictures, singing, watching movies, or romanticizing the little moments of everyday life. I love writing about film, music, friendships, relationships, personal growth, and the beautiful (and sometimes chaotic) experience of figuring yourself out in your late teens and early 20s. Through Her Campus, I hope to share my thoughts, explore new perspectives, and remind other girls that there’s something special about embracing who you are while figuring out who you want to become.
