About

I am passionate about fostering belonging and empowerment across both educational and artistic settings. With a foundation in elementary Spanish education at the San Francisco Friends School and experience as a lecturer in San Francisco State University's Step to College program, I focus on fostering language proficiency, mentorship, and cultural awareness. In my consulting work at Rainbow Collective For Change, I advocate for LGBTQIA+ inclusive curricula. My art challenges the barriers that separate communities and cultures by exploring how subjects interact, challenge, and embrace one another or themselves beyond socially constructed borders. I often depict these connections through music and dance—universal languages that transcend boundaries and celebrate shared humanity. Through this lens, my work highlights the co-existing communities and cultures that already embrace one another and inspire us to do the same.

My art work has been exhibited at Senator Scott Wiener’s Office as part of the We Belong-Pertenecemos exhibit and at the SFMOMA Artists Gallery as part of the Hispanic Heritage exhibit. I’ve also been featured in magazines, such as Bay Area Reporter, Voyage LA , NEWAGE, and Latin:SF.
