Esta #LatiNerd es escritora.

I am originally from Guadalajara, Mexico but came to the US in the early 2000s to attend college. Two decades later, I am still here, raising three multicultural children along with my Lebanese husband.

I have worked in translation almost as long as I have lived in the States. In 2021 I obtained an M.A. in English — Creative Writing from West Chester University of Pennsylvania.
