    Embracing Diversity in Love and Rituals Creating Joyful Memories Through Inclusivity and Tradition


    Respecting and honoring all communities and cultures is important to me.  I am bilingual, bicultural, and an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. 


    I believe that consenting adults should have the freedom to live and love as they choose.


    All love is truly equal.


    I grew up in a traditional home where I developed an appreciation for the ceremonies and rituals of Mexican-Catholicism. Although I am no longer a practicing Catholic, my spirituality continues to be influenced by some of those cherished traditions.

    As an educator, museum docent, and researcher, I enjoy engaging diverse audiences to create joyful and memorable shared experiences.

    Let's work together to create a cherished memory.
