Rebecca Francesca Reuter Puerto
I am a professional observer. I am a marine biologist. I am a writer. When I walk through the world I am aware of the birds singing in the bushes, the wind blowing through palm fronds, and the smell of salt in an ocean breeze. I write to share my experiences.
I identify as Latina thanks to my Cuban heritage. I honor the influence of my German heritage on who I am today. I grew up in the diverse neighborhood of East Rogers Park, Chicago, IL. I love Vienna hot dogs, stuffed pizza and Italian beef sandwiches. I also love pickled herring, and pastelitos de carne. I currently reside in the Green Lake neighborhood of Seattle with my husband and cat.
