Serena Elizabeth Barry

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Serena,

a freelance content writer and digital marketing enthusiast.

Authentic. Personal. Real.

I strive to make content that not only reflects my life experiences, but also represents a larger group of individuals who are overlooked. I want to inspire all through my content, but most importantly share my voice in a way that is authentic to myself and comprehensible to all audiences.

Frequently asked questions

Q. Where are you from & What are you doing right now?

I was born in Ottawa but raised in Waterloo, Ontario Canada. My mother, father sister and brother were all born in Guyana, South America. I am extremely family-oriented and am very close to my Guyanese culture.

Currently, I am working towards completing my undergraduate degree in Honours Bachelor of Commerce at the University of Ottawa remotely.

Q. What do you do for fun?

Recently I have found a love for gardening and building Lego pieces - especially the Harry Potter sets! When I am not doing that, I love to be active playing basketball and running track, and of course, I love to write.

Q. Who inspires you?

My family is a big pillar of inspiration for me. As I am the youngest in a family of 5, I am lucky enough to have my older brother and sister to look up to. I strive to be the best version of myself. I want to live my life as selfless and courageous as my parents were when they decided to immigrate to Canada in the late 1990s.
