    I am committed to telling femme-forward stories and promoting the equality of historically marginalized groups, specifically Latinas. I once read that writers tend to ask the same questions over and over in their work, and that all of their characters attempt to answer those questions in different ways. My work generally asks questions about motherhood, existentialism, death, and how women process grief.
    I am uninterested in exploiting Latine cultural trauma in order to appease people searching for "diverse stories" (read: timeworn stories about immigration, drug cartels, etc). Those stories are important, but are not the entire Latine experience. As has been said often, and much more eloquently than I'm saying it here: we are not a monolith. I believe in diversity in stories as much as I believe in diversity in culture and ethnicity- I want to see all types of people telling all kinds of stories and sharing all kinds of experiences. It’s the only way to keep entertainment inclusive and fresh.
    Recent writing projects include my stage play ENOUGH TO LET THE LIGHT IN and my short film EACH LOVELY THING, which I wrote and directed. I currently have two feature films in development.
