Creating Joyful Meaningful Memories
Respecting and honoring all communities and cultures is important to me. I am bilingual, bicultural, and an ally to the LGBTQ+ community.
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 is influenced by some of those cherished traditions.
For nearly 20 years I have been leading groups from around the world through tours of the Ancient Americas at Chicago's Field Museum. I enjoy helping people have fun in a shared experience. I value diversity and representation. These are some of what I love about Chicago!
Although sometimes challenging, my role as Adjunct Professor at Chicago Hispanic Serving Institutions helped me develop skills to hold a group's attention and my own research has helped me become more comfortable speaking in front of large groups and diverse audiences.
My aim is always to create a joyful and memorable shared experience for all present, and a memory to last a lifetime.
