Currently calling Kumeyaay lands and waters home. A lovely mix of lumpia, barbacoa, and manzanilla tea. Good belly laughs and deep questions. Hands that hope to tell as many stories as her abuela’s. Seed saving, land stewardship, conflict for the sake of good collective strategy.

Hello! For me, movement and play are central means of conversation, processing, and releasing in group gatherings. I'm committed to these practices through over fifteen years of facilitation, curriculum design, and resource sharing experience whether as a high school English teacher, College Advisor, community organizer, outdoor guide, environmental educator, or farmer. Some of my trainers/teachers include: Theater of the Oppressed NYC, Seeds Community Resolution Center’s Conflict Mediation Training, Good Work Institute, The People’s Yoga, and everything Emergent Strategy. I come from a heritage of working class and migrant farm workers of Mexican and Filipino descent.

If you are interested in having conversations about anything from food sovereignty, circle economies, farming/agriculture, to resume/job searching/cover letters, facilitation/organizing, and policy and advocacy work, please reach out. These are all things I'm passionate about and love sharing knowledge on.

I now practice conflict mediation, restorative circles, and curriculum design with an incredible collective of facilitators and coaches called Imaginal Cells. Please check out our website and reach out to us if you'd like to learn more. https://www.imaginalcellscollective.com/
