the Villa Victoria in South End, Boston raised me. a neighborhood made by and for Puerto Ricans, birthed me with pride - so much so that my mother named me after our five blocks, Vic"tori"a. 

​

before I decided to pursue art, I worked toward becoming an aerospace engineer taking weekend and summer classes at MIT. Yet, I took it as a sign that my art was meant for more than just sketchbook doodles when New York University, the only school I applied to as an art major, granted me a full tuition scholarship. 

​

I am currently in my last semester of senior year at New York University Tisch School of the Arts studying Interactive Media Arts.
