I am a children's author. I was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I was raised partly in Puerto Rico and partly in the states. After High School my family went back to Puerto Rico. I met my husband there and got married there. We came to Connecticut for job opportunities and have lived here ever since. I have a beautiful daughter, son-in law, and brand new grandchild. I also have a dog and a cat.

 

I'm a graduate of the Institute of Children's Literature and I've been published in Boy's Life and Skipping Stones Magazines. My new early reader picture book, ''Lost in El Yunque'' has just been published. And I hope to publish more. I'm completely bilingual in English and Spanish and I'm a member of the SCBWI's Translation Group. I have been a member of SCBWI since 2008.
