My Story
Hi there! My name is Cillea and I'm a lifelong writer. What started as writing poetry and short stories as a child has blossomed into a professional writing career that spans nearly 15 years.
I spent nine years in Nashville working as a freelance journalist, primarily covering country music, entertainment, and news (you can see the full list of publications I've written for on the home page). My life in Music City was so much more than telling compelling stories - it was a time of massive transformation and growth that led me to the path I'm on now.
I now call Italy home and am creating meaningful opportunities in storytelling and media all around the world. My main goal is to get to the heart of every story I tell - including yours!
Every interview I've conducted and story I've written has opened my mind, heart and soul in a profound way - and that's what I hope to offer you, too.
