ALL ABOUT MAMI

My roots, my hustle, my dreams

It was my senior year in high school that I became aware of the possibilities of a future in fashion. Being the first in my family to graduate from college, I was determined to make my family proud and dream big. I furthered my passion for learning by obtaining a Masters of Arts, focusing on the environmental aspects of retail design, visual merchandising, and consumer behavior. My passion for sustainability and fashion came hand in hand naturally.​

​

With over a decade of retail experience, I knew I had to combine my love for public service and sustainable fashion together. My time teaching at San Francisco State University is where my desire to serve others truly blossomed. My children have also been my greatest motivation to use the gift of serving and creating a community to educate and provide resources for those in need.

​

I founded the Mindful Mami with a mission of educating other Mami's on tools and resources to live a more sustainable lifestyle and mindful consumption, while building community through fashion. 


Thank you for being a part of my journey!  I cannot wait to hear your story as well!
