Mexicana. Immigrant. Storyteller.

I’m a Mexican actor turned filmmaker. I moved to the US at 19 years old, was the first woman in my family to finish college, and am now the first person in my family to pursue higher education as a graduate Film student at Columbia University.

As an actor, I’ve starred in Off-Broadway plays, voiced multiple national ad campaigns, given award-winning performances on the indie film circuit, and stolen Ryan Reynold’s potato chips - twice.

As a filmmaker, I’m passionate about storytelling with humor and heart. I’m most interested in exploring womanhood and dual or fragmented identities, particularly from a Latine perspective. I also care about continuing to explore and expand the magic realism traditions of my country — especially as they intersect with class, power, and racial structures.
