May your lust for life drip down your chest and trickle down your thighs like streams of rain tickling your body with nature’s sensitive touch. May you spread…wings and leap into heavens as the clouds moisten your face with their cool and watery deluge. May your arms hold on to substance thick and warm as the breeze breathes down your neck. May you always have a lust for life like the lust life has for you.
Many things have inspired me along the way, from the way that atoms interact to universal forces working in tandem to bring joy into my life.
I arrived from Cuba at the young age of 6 years old, became a big sister to an exceptional little boy at the age of 13, went off to college as a first-generation college student, earned a Bachelor's degree in Biological Chemistry from Grinnell College. After graduating, I became a high school science teacher with Teach for America and taught for 5 years. While teaching, I earned a Master's of Science in Education and Social Change from the University of Miami and then studied at Florida Institute of Technology and became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Currently I am loving my life as a BCBA where every day I learn new skills applicable in my practice and in my life.
