María Fortuño

UPR '25

María Fortuño is a junior editor and writer at the Her Campus UPR chapter. They enjoy editing and writing articles on a variety of topics, but she's especially partial to literature, pop culture, and psychology.

Now in their fifth year at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus, she’s double majoring in Psychology and Philosophy. After graduating, they aspire to pursue a PhD in Clinical Psychology, with the goal of helping children and teenagers in the LGBTQ+ community.

María is fond of repetition and firmly believes true comfort is found in returning to what you love. Hence, when she’s not rewatching the same shows over and over, you might find them reading—and re-reading—fantasy or romance novels. Her heart belongs to her favorite books, which include The Song of Achilles, This Is How You Lose the Time War, and Alone With You in the Ether. Finally, María’s greatest privilege is being an older sister, she has a soft spot for sad stories, and she loves to cook!
