AMA KELSY

Writer & Model

Ama [awe-maw] is a writer, model and graduate student based in Toronto. With a BA in Film and Television, marketing and copywriting exposure, and a current graduate student pursuing her MA in English at Toronto Metropolitan University while also working as a Non-Fiction and Review editor for the White Wall Review. She has had the pleasure of exploring more than one medium of writing and working with people who bettered her skills.
