Historias del Andén
Editor & Publisher
Historias del Andén grew from a simple realization: caregiving, so often experienced in isolation, is shared by millions. Born out of the International Caregiver Story Contest, this anthology brings together fourteen stories from different places, families, and circumstances. It shares the same emotional landscape as the short film The Last Station: caring, exhaustion, love, loss, remembrance, and rediscovery. While the film invites us into Jessica’s life, these stories open the door to other voices and perspectives, creating a space where caregivers can recognize themselves and feel less alone.
Llegué: Guía para no sentirse un alienígena en Estados Unidos
Author · Editor
Llegué: A Guide to Feeling Less Like an Alien in the United States grew out of a small irony of the immigrant experience: arriving to build a new life and being assigned an “alien” number. With humor, warmth, and practical guidance, this book helps newcomers navigate paperwork, customs, and unfamiliar rules that can feel like they belong on another planet. An invitation to understand your new surroundings, build confidence, and begin turning the unfamiliar into home—while staying true to who you are.
Miami Para Niños
Editor · Writer · Project Director
Miami para Niños was a free monthly Spanish-language magazine created to help Hispanic families discover activities, cultural experiences, and resources for children across Miami-Dade County. With 10,000 full-color copies distributed through schools, pediatric and dental offices, churches, shops, and community centers, it brought useful information closer to the places families visited every day. Its guiding belief: a child’s smile is well worth half an hour of reading.
