Performer, Teaching-Artist, and Creative Facilitaror

“In a time of mass distraction and echo chambers, you held a spotlight on the character of our nation with the clarity of the light of day.”
John Mischo
My stories weave the vibrant threads of Latin American heritage into contemporary storytelling. For me, this work is a calling—a way to honor my roots, share the richness of my culture, and connect hearts through the universal pulse of story.
As a teaching artist, I invite others to explore their own creative voices through the lens of narrative. I hope to help people reconnect with their personal and ancestral stories, and to see themselves as the heroes of their own unfolding journeys—where imagination opens the door to who we truly are.

"This year's Stories and Books for Young People was nothing short of magical. Your words transported us and the children to new worlds and reminded us of the power of storytelling to inspire, heal, and connect. Your ability to engage and captivate is truly a gift!"
