My poetry and fiction—rooted in the ordinary and the magical—explores the journey of the soul in the darkest hour, mental illness, mixed identities, and both wallflower & rockstar personalities. I have work published in Coffin Bell Journal, Half and One Magazine, Outlander Zine, and more.

I was raised in a single parent Latin household near Wekiva State Park in Central Florida. As a teen, I would wander my neighborhood aimlessly with headphones on, creating stories and poems in my head about the clouds, the trees, the birds, the flowers, and everything in between. This neighborhood has always occupied a special place in my heart for that reason; it is both a place where I have found my own magic and the magic of my Ecuadorian family.

Constantly reading work from poets and writers like Sarah Rose Etter, Pablo Neruda, Elle Nash, and Octavio Paz, I am constantly inspired to use similar themes like spirituality, dreams, nature, and modern psychology in my own work. My first collection of poetry, a microchapbook called A Delirium of Flowers, explores concepts such as acts of surrender, identity, new beginnings, self-erasure, and homesickness to show a complex relationship between being and becoming. My first poetry collection, Conversations with Shadow (Querencia Press, 2025), is a book that explores the victim as a shadow self—and learning how to gently guide her out of that dark corner.

I have an MFA from VCFA. I am also pursuing an MSI degree from FSU. I currently work in a public library setting and spend my free time zoning out with music, playing my acoustic guitar, or exploring Orlando with my friends.
