Native New Yorker. SAG-AFTRA Must Join. Bilingual Spanish. Cuban-Puerto Rican. LGBTQ+ storyteller and UCB Diversity Scholarship recipient, fascinated by what lives beneath the surface. Acting, writing, poetry and spiritual energy work shape my lens. Drawn to outsiders, rebels, survivors, mystics, disruptors and characters who defy definition. Give me grit, humor, contradiction, transformation and a little strange. I come alive where the edges get interesting.
