Felicia Sabartinelli is a multi-disciplinary creative whose work spans poetry, playwriting, memoir, personal essays, and mixed media art. Drawing from her multi-ethnic background—Indigenous/Native, Spanish, and white—her work explores identity, resilience, and the complexities of the human experience. A modern-day Renaissance woman, her career also includes acting and media production, reflecting a lifelong commitment to storytelling in its many forms.
From an early age, Felicia was drawn to the arts—dancing, singing, and performing skits for family and friends before turning to writing as a powerful means of self-expression. Her poetry, often cathartic and experimental, has been featured in national and regional anthologies including Poetry Scotland, Lucky Jefferson, The Ocotillo Review, and Allegory Ridge. In 2025, she released her debut poetry chapbook, No Bueno: Poems on Breaking, Blooming, and Becoming. Her personal essays—exploring themes such as miscarriage, marriage and divorce, dating, self-esteem, and acceptance—have resonated widely and appeared in publications such as Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, Dr. Oz’s The Good Life, Country Living, and Women’s Day.
In 2018, Felicia expanded into playwriting with her debut work, The Light & Dark of Matter, which was selected for the Manhattan Repertory Theatre’s Short Play Series and received critical acclaim. The play later earned awards at the Watermelon One-Act Festival in Maryland. That same year, she was also invited to speak at a TEDx event.
While writing remains central to her work, Felicia continues to explore other creative avenues including painting, public speaking, and acting. She views storytelling as a multidimensional experience—one that extends beyond the written word to include performance, emotion, and visual expression. As an actress, she has appeared in stage productions, film, television, commercials, and voiceover projects.
Behind the scenes, Felicia has worked in production roles such as Production Assistant, Casting Assistant, and Producer, contributing to shows including America’s Got Talent, American Ninja Warrior, and Restaurant Impossible.
Felicia is also an advocate for allergy awareness and education. Her personal experience with Oral Allergy Syndrome has been featured in Allergic Living, NPR, and several major publications. Through sharing her story, she has connected with and supported others around the world facing similar challenges.
In addition to her advocacy, she has contributed to charity and nonprofit initiatives as a Charity Manager (Hospice & the Arts), as well as a public speaker and workshop leader, using her strengths in leadership, communication, and community-building to support meaningful causes.
In Fall 2023, Felicia earned her Master’s degree in Creative Writing with first-class distinction from the University of Stirling in Scotland. She is currently working on her first book of essays and publishes a newsletter, Ferocious. As of April 2026, she has begun submitting her debut YA novel to agents/publishers.
Felicia’s journey as a writer began at age fourteen, when a regional newspaper published her essay reflecting on the Columbine shooting. The piece ultimately reached the White House, where she received a letter of recognition from President Bill Clinton—an experience that affirmed the power of her voice and its ability to connect with others.
