Experience

6 years experience

"I'm a coach, programmer, artist, and leader. With an Ivy-League Computer Science degree, a decade of experience in health-technology clinical operations, over five years in mental health coaching, and years of grassroots community-uplifting of artists and scholars, my expertise lies in the overlapping intersections of technology, art, healing, and social impact. As part of the boricuir (Puerto Rican, gender queer) diaspora in Brooklyn, I'm a creative coder, a community organizer, a staunch abolitionist, and a goofy dog mom. I am drawn and open to all forms of wisdom from worldwide cultures past, present, and future. I find company in nature, inspiration in art, solace in rituals, comfort in people, energy in coffee, and power in dance."
