I was born and raised in San Antonio.  

 

My mother, Beva, is from Albuquerque, NM and is a grassroots organizer for gender justice at the Southwest Organizing Project.  She makes the best rice and beans.  No argument.

​

My dad, Eduardo, is an arts administrator and lives in D.C.  He cares about local public art.  Like a lot.

​

My sister, Micaela, is a Chicana/o Studies professor at UC Santa Barbara.  She is an incredible dancer.  She is crazy sharp.

​

I was very close to my grandparents.  They helped raise me and I often talk about them in my work. Elisa + Barbara + Magdaleno + Gilbert.

​

I met Angelica Reyna through Big Brothers/Big Sisters in San Antonio.  She is a junior at Hilbert College in NY.  I love her like a sister.

​

I love dancing salsa and flamenco.  I am not particularly strong at either.
