(but everyone knows me as China – sounds like cheenuh).
I Am Happily Married to God — As a Consecrated Virgin.

Yes, I'm celibate. No, I'm not a nun

Me in a not so nutshell:

I was born in Caracas, Venezuela. I graduated from George Mason
University with a Bachelor’s degree in Art and Visual Technology (2005)
as well as a Masters in Education (2007). In 2010, I completed a Masters
in Theology at the Notre Dame Graduate School of Christendom College.

From 2006 to 2010, I worked for the Diocesan Laborer Priests in
Washington, DC as their Bilingual Youth Minister Director. In August
2009, I was consecrated into the Order of Virgins. I have a great passion

for missionary work and teaching the youth. My love for missions has
taken me around the world to India, El Salvador, and recently to Bánica,
Dominican Republic where I spent a year serving as a missionary.

From 2011-2014, I worked part time as the Middle School Religion

teacher at St. Ambrose Catholic School in Annandale, Virginia while also
working as the Assistant Youth Ministery at All Saint Catholic Church. In
2014, I became a full-time Youth and Young Adult Minister at All Saints.
In the summer of 2016, I decided to dedicate myself completely to this

exciting new ministry!
