Personal Life
I am a proud fifth-generation Colorado Latina, lifelong learner, and educator. Raised in Pueblo by parents who built their own publishing business, I carry a deep belief in creativity, community, and possibility into my work.
I have called Denver home for nearly three decades and, outside of my work,
you’ll find me traveling, playing piano, creating stained glass, cooking, or attempting to grow the perfect (imperfect) garden.
