Autorenporträt
Sarina Dahlan was born into an Indonesian family in Thailand, and immigrated to the United States at the age of twelve.

A graduate of the University of California, San Diego with degrees in Psychology and Visual Arts, she has blended both disciplines in careers as an advertising producer, corporate marketing strategist, small business owner, and a writer. Her supernatural short story, THE BENCH, recently earned a Silver Honorable Mention in the Writers of the Future Contest, 3rd quarter 2018.
