I have been co-creating meaning as a writer for as long as I can remember. Great-granddaughter of Puerto Rican poet Facundo Rivera Natal, I was raised with an early love for the metaphorical language of poetry and art. 

Over my past 25 years in the arts industry, I have curated several dozen exhibitions (both regionally and across the country), and spent over a decade in the Fine Arts/Art History trenches of academia.

I am also a writer who was first published as a poet in elementary school and have written critically about the work of artists and creatives for various online and print publications since 2010.

I am devoted to using language on behalf of a more expansive and inclusive future—often by supporting the visions of other artists and creatives.

I currently serve as the Exhibitions Director at Visionaries + Voices, a progressive art studio in Cincinnati, OH that works with 130+ artists with disabilities.
