I was born and raised in Venezuela but left when I was a teen. So far, I have lived in 4 different countries, and the U.S. became me and my family's permanent residence 9 years ago. I graduated college with honors (Summa Cumm Laude) in Northern Minnesota and I have been working as a digital editor and translator ever since. I have many hobbies, but the one that fills my heart the most is traveling with my dogs and the people I love.

“The nurse explained, ‘Your lab results came back, and they are scary.’ We were officially in ‘get-these-babies-out-ASAP’ territory.”
“For nine days prior, I’d been formulating the plan I’d pondered vaguely in my mind for years, but never really intended to act on.”
“There was definitely an attempt to undercut my confidence, but I’m so grateful for my past self who dared to be assertive with her ask.”
“Sometimes, we SAHMs feel like we do a lot that goes unnoticed, and our work can feel like a thankless job. And sometimes, our husbands might feel the same way.”
“After my adoptive parents left me, I bounced from couch to couch with friends and ultimately ended up homeless, where I became the victim of sex trafficking. Life felt completely hopeless, but I persevered.”
“I shouted out, ‘WHO HERE HAS HANDS?!’ across the shell shocked crowds. Person by person, a small crowd was gathered, and we began hunting for the hope of life.”
“I should have died. By some beautiful miracle, I didn’t.”
