About Me

I am proud to have been a founding member of the Las Semillitas School, a Spanish language cooperative preschool based in Alameda, California, designed around collective participation, ecological responsibility, holistic health, and progressive social consciousness. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, photography (both digital and film), and fine food.
