All of my work centers around building connections with viewers and readers through subjects that build emotional intelligence and awareness. I think a lot of that comes from the way I’ve always experienced the world. I’ve always been a very sensitive and perceptive person—not sensitive simply in the sense of being easily affected, but in the sense that I notice things. I notice subtleties in people, in conversations, in what is said and what isn’t said. I can walk away from a seemingly ordinary interaction and find myself thinking about something small that happened in it, wondering what was underneath it or what that person might have been feeling.

I’m a proud first-time mom and thrilled to debut my first children’s book, Island Dreams on New Land: Isabela’s Journey. As a proud Latina, I cherish the vibrant cultures of both my Puerto Rican and Dominican roots.
