About Me:

Born in Cartagena, Colombia, in 1966. Her childhood and youth are materialized between the magical and romantic Caribbean that watched her dreaming while she was growing up, and the misty mountainous Andes that embraced her until she relocated to the US, where she added to her academic formation as an Anthropologist with a Master's degree in Political Science from The Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, a second Master's degree in International Relations from The George Washington University in Washington DC.

Her passion for writing begins at a very young age and is reflected through the dozens of journals she wrote, when her need to put on paper all her questions and concerns about life and the reality that surrounded her, became stronger than anything else. Later on as an adult back in Colombia, her alma mater offers her the opportunity to train herself as an editor in chief through many of the publications belonging to renowned university professors, acquiring so the discipline and focus she needed before feeling herself confident enough to start writing her own creations. In spite of her university degrees and diplomas, many of her questions kept half-answered as a result of the logical and rational explanations that were the only ones at hand within the academic context in which she was searching. One day, she changes the environment where nothing seems to be enough when she decides to jump out of her fish tank. Tired of being the observed, she wanted to become the observer of a world she had never even considered possible. Once outside, she gets to meet her true self and the expansive truth that finally brings peace to her willing soul. Today she writes about that leap, about what is like to be living on that 'other side'.

A multicultural, empathic and adaptable human being, fascinated with the diversity of hats one can wear linearly and simultaneously within this dual universe. Throughout this lifetime filled with contrast, she has lived in Bogotá, Washington DC, Miami, Sedona, Houston, London and New Orleans. Her most notorious roles define her as a student and a teacher, a daughter and a mother, an employee and a boss, as single and married, as divorced and widowed, as a sick patient and a healer... What else could a writer ask for! Nevertheless, these are only roles. The best way to describe her is as a faithful lover. She is truly in love with the life she writes about, the one she describes to all men, women and youngsters that become a part of her reality once they include her as part of theirs.
