About Me

I’m a Puerto Rican islander, woman with epilepsy, and multidisciplinary researcher whose work bridges environmental resilience, urban design, and cultural storytelling. Growing up in Boquerón and Mayagüez, I witnessed how natural landscapes and built environments shape human experience—especially during Puerto Rico’s recurrent climate disasters that transformed coastlines into shared graveyards of displaced matter. These experiences deepened my commitment to uncovering silenced narratives of both ecological and human suffering.

With a BSc in Civil and Environmental Engineering from UPRM and a Master in Building Technology from MIT, I use diverse mediums—from mapping coastal vulnerabilities and reimagining ancient myths to humanizing urban infrastructures—to explore sustainability, identity, and collective resilience. As an artist and educator, I aspire to embed storytelling into transformative education and research, inspiring communities to see urban landscapes as spaces of stewardship, resilience, and social justice.
