I'm a Latina creative navigating life with CPTSD, MDD, anxiety, and past trauma while finding strength in faith, family, and community. Reclaiming my Catholic roots after personal loss has been deeply healing, and I carry my late grandmother’s Catechism with pride. I’ve overcome homelessness, addiction, mental health crises, and the justice system—and now I'm a Medi-Cal Peer Support trainee with Painted Brain LA. My journey as an artist, writer, and teacher’s aide reflects my belief in growth through adversity and self-expression. From managing CTNX Expo to performing drag and developing a show with Mercury Filmworks at 18, I’m passionate about creativity and connection. Whether it's through music, horror films, or Ballet Folklórico, I believe in the power of community and never giving up.
