I am a stay-at-home mother turned children's book author. Born in Puerto Rico, and raised in Philadelphia, PA, I draw on my bicultural and bilingual experience as inspiration for my books. I am motivated by a desire to provide children with more stories that celebrate and reflect multicultural families like mine.

​

My debut picture book "LA NOCHE BEFORE THREE KINGS DAY" (HarperCollins 2023), illustrated by Alejandro Mesa, captures the magic and wonder of this treasured holiday through a child's eager eyes. 

​

My upcoming picture book SUMMER IS VERANO IN EL CAMPO will be published by Charlesbridge Publishing in Summer 2027. This dual-lingual picture book, which will be illustrated by Esther Diana, shows a bicultural kid's experience of spending half of the summer in a U.S. city and spending the other half in the countryside of Puerto Rico with extended family.

​​

I am a member of Las Musas and the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. Previously, I was a public relations specialist and freelance writer before staying home after the birth of my third child and then becoming an author. I hold a B.A. degree in journalism from Temple University, and live in North Carolina with my family and a spoiled Havanese dog named Vader.​
