Community Affiliate
I am a facilitator, educator, and consultant whose life and work have been shaped by movement, community, and care. Born and raised in Colombia, my journey has taken me into classrooms and community spaces across Canada, where I have spent over 14 years designing, developing, and facilitating programs that foster well-being, belonging, and social change.
My practice is grounded in human-centered, anti-oppressive, and anticolonial approaches. I bring a strong ability to translate complex social realities into accessible, culturally responsive learning experiences that address systemic inequities while honoring lived experience. My work emphasizes trust-building, creativity, restorative practices, and embodied approaches as pathways for individual and collective growth.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Alberta (2014), a Graduate Diploma in Community Economic Development from Concordia University (2021), and completed the Professional Training and Artistic Program in Dance (PEFAPDA) at Nyata Nyata. Through both academic training and artistic practice, I have developed a deep understanding of the relationship between social systems, the body, and everyday life—an awareness that informs my approach to facilitation, consulting, and collaboration.
In recent years, I have worked on the Re-Création project in Montréal, delivering creative, arts-based interventions in welcome classes, and co-facilitated the Youth Creative Space after-school program at Centre Clark. Through Weaving Journeys, I support schools, nonprofits, and organizations in building inclusive environments rooted in care, connection, and transformative learning.
