I grew up and worked in Cartagena, Colombia. After studying Interior Design and Business and working in my own business, God opened an opportunity for me to get married and move to Calgary, Canada, where I lived for 6 years.
In 2015, my husband, Brad Burton, accepted a position as a professor of the Rady Chair of Petroleum Geology at Western Colorado University, and we moved to this magical place called Gunnison. This place welcomed me and made me feel at home, where I discovered and explored my hidden abilities that I had only previously found in this place.
Passionate about every project I undertake, today I divide my time between two jobs of service to immigrant families. Since I arrived in Gunnison, I have been serving the community, and I love doing it. Now, at Juntos por Gunnison, I want to better serve the diverse needs of our community with more freedom in a safe space where newcomers always feel supported.
Among the things I enjoy most are cooking, walking with my dogs, snowshoeing, gardening, and dancing.
