I’m 6’ and growing, native to Southern California so when I am not indoors working or messing around I stroll around and enjoy what my community has to offer. Growing up in a highly Latinx based community only made me appreciate my culture and appreciate community engagement and help in anyway I can with retaining the original identity of a city rather than losing it to gentrification or a cookie cutter shopping area.

Communicating with multiple residents within the Los Angeles vicinity, I helped by educating the public of the benefits of native gardens, installing and maintaining them during their first few months and even working with schools and art museums with these installations.
