Hi! I’m Nydile Mohan, a member of Kara’s Content Writing team. While I’m procrastinating, I like to binge true crime/paranormal investigation shows - a bold move for a complete coward! I’m also usually trying to convince people I’m funny. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I hope my stories can help you understand your worth, and that you are not alone.
