I was born and raised in Venezuela but left when I was a teen. So far, I have lived in 4 different countries, and the U.S. became me and my family's permanent residence 9 years ago. I graduated college with honors (Summa Cumm Laude) in Northern Minnesota and I have been working as a digital editor and translator ever since. I have many hobbies, but the one that fills my heart the most is traveling with my dogs and the people I love.

“There is a bittersweet pain in wanting to give you both one-hundred percent of me, all the while knowing it is an impossibility.”
“Just reach out your hand and tell them, ‘You’ll be alright.’”
“I know I don’t fit society’s standards of what a mom is ‘supposed’ to look like, but believe me, it doesn’t affect my ability to parent my child.”
“Is there anyone better equipped to sing a song about being part of a world that doesn’t understand and expects us to change in order to fit in?”
“But that doesn’t mean we stop fighting for it. Love is not a feeling but an action. A decision to put another person above ourselves.”
“Your kids love you. You’re doing the best you can and that is ENOUGH.”
“Supporting a biological parent looks nothing like I thought, nothing like the class PowerPoint described. It’s better and worse, and WAY harder, but so much more rewarding than I ever imagined.”
