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!
