Contributors Vanessa Pascale Vanessa Pascale, Miami Living Magazine's Editor-in-Chief, has fervently enlisted Hollywood's hottest names to grace its covers and pages for seven years now. As a writer, the prolific interviewer — with over 100 interviews under her belt— has gone tête-à-tête with a myriad of venerable movie/ television stars (Kristin Chenoweth), musicians (Enrique Iglesias), fashion designers (Monique Lhuillier), entrepreneurs, and artists to create in-depth profiles. Her editorial undertakings primarily focus on arts & entertainment, the hospitality industry, fashion and culture, and have been published in magazines across the nation as well as on various websites. Through the written word, Vanessa strives to inspire, entertain, and uncover the magic in every story she tells. www.VanessaPascale.com Twitter: @VanessaPascale Maureen Aimee Mariano Born and bred in Miami, Maureen Aimee Mariano has always loved the way the Magic City shines. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Journalism from the University of Florida before returning to her roots to cover the latest trends in food, travel, lifestyle, pop culture, and entertainment. She fuels her passion by eating and exploring her way through Miami's ever-evolving culinary scene, interviewing celebrity taste makers, and covering the community's hottest events, and then writing about them as a freelance writer for local outlets including Miami Living and Miami New Times. As a full-time content producer for Entertainment Benefits Group, her words appear in corporate, travel, and entertainment websites spanning Orlando, Las Vegas, New York and beyond, but there's nothing like the adventures she gets to experience in the city she calls home. Pastime hobbies include binge-watching sinfully great TV, from Bravo's Real Housewives to HBO's Game of Thrones, and eating large amounts of ice cream – usually at the same time. Stay up-to-date @maureenaimee. Briana Dodson When Briana isn't writing a new article for her blog or trying to keep up-to-date on the latest social media trends, you can find her playing with her puppy, reading a good book or getting in a good workout at the gym. A lover of donuts and binge watching SNL, she is constantly updating her workout playlist and is currently training to hike Machu Picchu. You can find her on Twitter @Briana_Dodson. Claudia Paredes Claudia Paredes has always had a strong passion for writing. She likes to write about technology, music, food, and people. She started writing for the high school newspaper, and while she was in college she wrote for the city newspaper, The Cambridge Chronicle. She has worked as a contributing writer for Miami Living Magazine & Mac Directory Magazine since 2009, and has had a blast working on every assigned story. Claudia studied Communication at Boston University, and received her bachelor's degree in 2010. She also minored in Russian and Eastern European Studies. Claudia is currently taking journalism classes and getting her Master of Liberal Arts at Harvard University. In her spare time, Claudia likes to play the piano, and delight her friends and family with tunes from her favorite movies. Although Claudia has moved around, she never forgets her Peruvian roots, and always plans a surprise trip to see her grandmother.
