Biography: 

KMarie was born and raised in the Dominican Republic and immigrated to the United States in her early twenties. Her research focuses on exploring the role and manifestation of the Holy Spirit and spirits. She believes that the academic study of the Holy Spirit and spirits is a topic that has not been explored enough due to its subjective nature. Nevertheless, she contends that academic study does not undermine such experiences, and it demonstrates a deep respect for the diversity of spiritual experiences.
