About me
From High School
To Immigration
When the city I was born in made headlines for putting children in cages, I had to go back. So at 17 years old, I packed up my bags and found myself on the southern border in El Paso, TX, 1,200 miles away from my family. For almost two years, I served as the Communications Coordinator in El Paso, Texas for the immigration nonprofit Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center. I was the team’s videographer, graphic designer and photographer, documenting the work of immigration attorneys, advocates and asylum seekers from all over the world.
Through this work, I developed a passion for storytelling and began to document the world around me – in order to dive deeper.
My graphic design work exposed ICE mistreatment in detention centers
My cinematography, featured by PBS, documented the struggles during this pandemic
My photography captured the historic Black Lives Matter march on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial
Most proudly, my personal documentary on the sudden loss of my father was shown in theater at my first Film Festival in El Paso

Now A New Adventure Begins
I’m excited to be sharing stories of adventure, love, loss and everything in between while figuring out my life one year at a time. I take deep inspiration in the lives of others so it’s my turn to pass that forward. Thank you for joining me on this adventure.
