ABOUT US
We are all Miami- based seniors in high school and extremely close friends. Our love of writing and art inspired us to form a place where we can be 100% ourselves. The name "exhalo" is the latin word for exhale, which is something we all must do sometimes. As high school students preparing for college and what not, we found that it is important to step back and enjoy life once in a while. Here is where we express ourselves and share what makes us happy. The four of us have different personalities and styles, but here, we are all one in the name of writing. Below are our personal profiles, enjoy!

Vivian Gisle
An 18 going on 25 year old (at least in my mind), who has a passion for writing, photography, and filmmaking. While I might not be the biggest fan of Miami, I have come to appreciate the richness in culture that I have grown up in. I try to infuse my writing and filmmaking with wit as well as life experience. I love to travel and experience new things. One of my favorite place to visit is Canada (specifically Quebec), as I go there every summer. I plan to pursue a career in screenwriting and directing. 10 years from now I see myself living in either LA or New York chasing my dreams and making plenty of memories on the way. I will be studying Film and Television Production at New York University.

Amanda Fuentes
Just your typical 17-year old Miami girl trying to get through high school and avoid complete disaster. Knowing my whole life I didn't want an ordinary job, my path has led me to pursue the life of a journalist. My happy place is the beautiful Great Harbour Cay, a major island in the Berry Islands where the peace and serenity of the island take over. My loves in life are 80s pop culture, the ocean, the art of dance, and most uncommon in a girl my age, college football. Even at age one, I would be caught watching late night Sports Center with my dad. In 10 years, I see myself reporting on the sidelines of college football games making my passion and my occupation one in the same.

Carolina Dalia Gonzalez
Your average, well-traveled 18 year old cyberpunk trying to understand what it really means to live. I tweet too much for my own good and may be consumed by the social networking age but... who isn't? I admit to taking too many selfies and I'm usually found wearing a pair of headphones or babbling about the next concert in town. I also collect records for my personal enjoyment and strive to be someone of importance in the music journalism scene. 10 years from now I see myself as editor of a music magazine and friends with everyone you see on the screen and everyone you hear on the radio. I'll also probably be enjoying macaroons and drinking some fancy coffee in a cafe in Paris.

Camila Carrillo, thats with two r's and two l's. I am a 17-year old living in the mesmerizing city of Miami. I am inspired by the colors and brightness of the city and the mix of so many cultures. I love to write and draw, but now a days, who doesn't? I love Karl Lagerfeld, Zac Posen, Kenzo, and Vivienne Westwood. I'd like to think that I'm a funny person, and also a very loyal one. 10 years from now I see myself in a New York City pent house living my dream of becoming a fashion journalist, and doing so next to the people I love the most.
