is a Colombian-American playwright, actor, and teaching artist known for her bold, boundary-pushing works. A passionate advocate for inclusion in the arts, her plays explore themes of identity, cultural heritage, and resilience, blending lyrical storytelling with sharp social commentary. Plays include Policarpa, a post-apocalyptic reimagining of Colombia’s revolutionary heroine; Ghosts of Bogotá, an intimate exploration of family secrets and generational trauma; and Sapience, a fable about communication and neurodiversity. She also serves as a mentor and teaching artist, working to empower emerging writers, particularly women and Latinx artists, through Breath of Fire Latina Theater Ensemble. She currently represents Southern California on the Dramatists Guild Council.
