Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, Mercedes developed her love for reading and writing as a child in Harvard University libraries with steaming cups of coffee too big for her small size. Now, Mercedes attends Ryerson University in Toronto, where she studies journalism. She still loves to read, she is finding her writing niche, and her cups of coffee just grow bigger by the day.
Mercedes treats her Instagram like a well-groomed apartment. You can judge it, much like an air b-n-b, @itsbenzy.
