Author. Researcher. Filmmaker. Speaker.

Originally born and raised in Sinaloa, Mexico, I am an artist and storyteller living in Los Angeles. My contributions as a producer and filmmaker have screened at film festivals across the globe. Through my work as a filmmaker, writer, and storyteller, I have been a leading voice and organizer around issues of immigration, homelessness, and human rights. I have worked closely with leading activist networks and founded a non-profit focused on supporting homeless communities in California. I am currently writing a book, The Cost of Convenience, tallying the many tolls experienced by undocumented individuals in the U.S. I come from a family that is deeply committed to issues of fairness and all my activities are driven by humility and grace.
