Quién soy? | Who am I? 

Born and raised in Puerto Rico, I completed a B.F.A. in Fashion Design from the School of Fine Arts and Design of Puerto Rico. I also completed an M.F.A. in Fashion Design from Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia. Through the years I learned that in order to survive this industry, you must be capable of learning how to do *everything. That’s why I am a fashion designer, graphic designer, textile designer, product developer, fashion illustrator, printmaker, professor, artist and most important, educator.

Qué hago? | Currently doing?

I recently started a position as Assistant Professor of Fashion Design at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design [RMCAD] in Denver, Colorado. I'm very excited to be here and to expand my experience teaching students with different skills and an arts background.

Before moving to Denver, I spent 6 years teaching and leading the Fashion Programs at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri. I took the role as Chair of the Fashion Programs in 2019 after being an Assistant Professor since 2016 of Fashion Design and Product Development.

I was proud to lead a program that was considered  one of the best in the Nation (BoF). The fashion program consisted of Fashion Design and Product Development, Fashion Marketing and Management, Fashion Communication and Apparel Studies. Each provided a well-rounded set of skills to become experts in the industry.

As an instructor my main goal is to continue forming the fashion designers of the future. Giving my students the tools to succeed in an ever-changing industry that is in need of sensitivity towards the environment, more diversity and deconstructing / decolonizing systems.
