She writes in both English and Spanish and is the author of the Dragon Memories trilogy: Niha's Curse, Drift, and The Memory Remains. Her writing interests include fantasy, philosophy, mythology, nonhuman points of view, memory, justice, identity, and the relationship between individuals and the societies around them. Her fiction combines character-driven storytelling with detailed worldbuilding, including cultures, institutions, laws, magic systems, geography, and biological rules designed to continue shaping events beyond any single protagonist.

Her work with the framework spans written analysis, video, audio commentary, and workshops focused on how storytelling choices function individually and as part of a complete narrative experience.
