Last month, I had the opportunity to interview with VoyageLA Magazine. The folks at VoyageLA were wonderful to work with!

Here’s a short snippet of the interview!

Today we’d like to introduce you to Rena Patel.

Rena, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I’ve always loved stories. The earliest memory I have of writing something of my own was in kindergarten. I wrote and illustrated a four-page book about my favorite thing to do during each season of the year. Kindergarten was also the year I had my first leading role in a play. My teacher picked me out of all of the girls in the three kindergarten classes to play Clara in our school’s holiday production of The Nutcracker because according to her, I was not shy. Looking back on it, it kind of feels inevitable that I’m here, almost 20 years later, completely enveloped in storytelling of every form.
