I want to spend my life inspiring people to see the beauty in everything, everywhere, everyone.
Who am I?
Born and raised in Puerto Rico, I'm a multimedia storyteller, and the more I dive into my interests, the longer that title gets. I'm a singer-songwriter, music producer, filmmaker, graphic designer, brand strategist, actor, and writer. Not because I couldn't choose one, but because I genuinely believe the best stories are told when you bring all of yourself to the table.
I hold a dual BA in Digital Media Studies & English from the University of Rochester, and I'm completing my MA in Television, Radio & Film at Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Public Communications — graduating May 2026. By day, I work in community, culture and engagement at Newhouse, where I create content, produce events, and tell the stories of a community I care about. By night, I'm in the studio, on set, or designing something new.
Why do I do what I do?
Through the highs and lows, art has been the one constant in my life — whether it showed up as a song that said exactly what I couldn't, a performance I had the privilege to be part of, or a film that made the world feel a little more bearable. Art has helped me process both the tragedies and the beautiful, ordinary moments of being alive. As a creative, I want to be part of projects that do the same for other people.
My most recent work includes Headspace(s) — a multimedia project of three original music videos where I served as talent, producer, and editor — and my music videos ADHD and forever two flights, available in the Film & Writing section.
