Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
To introduce myself, I am a dedicated stay-at-home mom with a passion for caring for my son. In addition to my motherly duties, I am an active content creator on several major platforms, where I focus primarily on sharing my food recipes. Many of these recipes are cherished heritage dishes passed down from my grandmother, allowing me to celebrate and honor my family’s culinary traditions.

In addition to my content creation, I run a small business called ‘Desdemicasita,’ where I handcraft candles. Each candle is made with care, and all the vessels I use are sourced from Mexico, reflecting my commitment to supporting artisans and showcasing the beauty of Mexican craftsmanship. Through both my content and my candle business, I strive to inspire and connect with my audience while preserving my cultural heritage.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My favorite place is Los Angeles because I love the beaches. Venice Beach is one of my favorites for its lively vibe. I also really enjoy Balboa Beach and Newport Beach for their beautiful views and relaxing atmosphere.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to take a moment to recognize my family, specifically my husband and son, for their unwavering support. My son continually inspires me to strive for excellence, as I aim to create a brighter future for him. Meanwhile, my husband provides steadfast encouragement and support, allowing me the freedom to pursue my goals. Together, they create a nurturing and motivating environment that fuels my personal and professional growth. I am truly grateful for their presence in my life.
