María Fortuño is a junior editor and writer at the Her Campus UPR chapter. They enjoy editing and writing articles on a variety of topics, but she's especially partial to literature, pop culture, and mental health.
She's currently pursuing a Master's degree in Philosophy at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus. After graduating, they aspire to pursue a PhD in Philosophy, with the goal of joining academia as a professor, writer, and researcher. She hopes to continue editing, publishing, and contributing to philosophical conversations while sharing her love for philosophy with future scholars and students alike.
María is fond of repetition and firmly believes true comfort is found in returning to what you love. Hence, when she’s not rewatching the same shows over and over, you might find them reading—and re-reading—fantasy or romance novels. Her heart belongs to her favorite books, which include The Song of Achilles, This Is How You Lose the Time War, and Alone With You in the Ether. Finally, María’s greatest privilege is being an older sister, she has a soft spot for sad stories, and she loves to cook!
