Introduction Born in Mexico City back in the 70s. Studied there until the age of 17 then moved to California where I continued my studies from high shcool to college education. Santa Clara University became my home for 3 years, along with Steve Nash and Shimar Moore. After graduation I moved to Albuquerque, NM to attend The University of New Mexico. I graduated in 1997 with a MA in directing. I worked for a computer company for two years, then started teaching at a community college and Santa Clara University. Then, after 5 years of that, I decided to get yet another graduate degree, this time an MFA in playwriting from Arizona State University. And here I am.
