My Story

The sociological perspective has always influenced me to seek answers my curiosity asks. from an early age I have been influenced my ambition to ask, connect, and voice my opinions on public matters. I thrive in my fight to sustain culture, value, and solidarity in community efforts that demand resources that are our right.


My passion for civic engagement began at the East Los Angeles County Library, where I curated an event for my community. This event was culturally relevant, expressive, and insightful, transforming my perception of community engagement, My path has led me to actively discover ways to engage communities with the healing medium of art. The mediums I use reflect my experience growing up in my community as well as embody the creative process that brings me peace and a sense of healing. 

 

Los Angeles based non-profits I have worked with include Inner-City Arts, Self Help Graphics & ART, The Vincent Price Art museum, and most recently h.e.a.r.t.s. I completed the Teaching artist training series offered by LACMA, a program that supports artists working in their community. 

​

My intention for FALL 2024 is to curate artistic, cultural, and educational resources.
