Mucho gusto!

I was born and raised in Mexico, a country full of art and culture everywhere, this sparked an immense love for my country that I embraced even more when I migrated. 

I have a BA in Communications in Mexico and Graphic Design Diploma in Canada. I love people, psychology, and nature. 

I left Mexico at almost 30 years old in 2008, due to a job offer for my husband in Australia and that's when the beginning of what has become a challenging, satisfying, and self-awareness-filled story started. 

The excitement of migration clashes when you face the reality of longing, when a loved one dies while you are so far away, when you start a family, when financial, spiritual, or professional crises arise. There isn't a shortcut that learn our lessons. I could not have anticipated any of them when I became  a migrant woman.

For me, the great learning that migration is, cannot (and should not) be a path lived in solitude, it is an obligation to share, strengthen, and grow as human beings in community.

Today, 16 years since that first move and having lived in four different countries so far, with a family that looks very different from the one that initially took that first flight, I understand that everything is narrative, and everything can eventually work in our favor.

Today, I can recognize the love that it requires to embrace the duality of the soul when being a migrant. Nopal y Maple became a mission for me the day I realized that I have a third nationality: the nationality that I like to call from here and from there. Integrating the two countries that have given me the most and that represent me the most.  I have Nopal in my blood and Maple in my heart.
