Picture it.

The humid asphalt of Long Island, New York.

A young girl raised in a multi-generational Puerto Rican and Jewish family where God was in charge (aka, my abuela).

I left Long Island and religion a while back (praise be!)

yet their imprints have lasted through moves to Mexico City, DC, and Los Angeles,

where I've worked as a teacher, in social justice non-profits, and now, in filmmaking.

Filmmaking has been my vehicle to explore emotional truths

via magical realism, animation, and some well-placed booty jokes.

I've been fortunate to have projects selected for labs and mentorships with

Sundance, Cine Qua Non (sponsored by AMPAS),

Women In Animation, and the Stowe Story Labs.

My short film, These Colors Don't Run (shot on film),

tells the story of a first communion gone down the shitter.

TDCR was supported by Kodak and the Arlington Commission for the Arts,

and was distributed by HBO MAX.

My latest project, Post Comedy, 

about a stand-up comic living in the shadow of her past,

received a camera and lighting grant through DC-Camera/WIFV DC,

and is currently on the festival circuit.

Producing other filmmaker's projects brings me a lot of joy,

and I've gotten to work on some great ones like:

La Juana (Dir: Anayamel); Bridge. (Dir: Cristina Wolf);

and Petiole (Dir: Meghan Brown).

I also produced a 2023 Netflix/LALIFF Inclusion Fellowship short called

Development (Dir: Chloe Caudillo),

starring Haskiri Velazquez (Saved By The Bell);

and I'm currently producing Un Hombre Sincero (Dir: Ann Valdés);

and Cohetes, a feature-length thriller (Dir: Drew Saplin)

and a 2025 grant recipient from the Austin Film Society.

On the script side, I recently optioned Christmas Rodeo 

(an absurd, cursey Christmas rom-com feature I co-wrote) to Happy Accidents;

and have a slate of live-action and animated episodics, features, and shorts.

If you're looking to staff or have writing assignments,

I'd love to chat!
