Creative Facilitaror, Teacher-Artist, Performer, and Writer.
My stories weave the vibrant threads of Latin American heritage into the fabric of contemporary storytelling. For me, storytelling is not just a profession but a calling—a way to honor my roots and share the diverse tapestry of Latin American culture with audiences everywhere. Through my performances, I aim to be a cultural ambassador, using the art of storytelling to connect hearts, spark creativity, and celebrate the universal human experience.
"Carolina! You are hypnotically beautiful to watch!"
-Mo Reynolds, National Storyteller
As a teaching artist, I strive to explore our creative voices, minds, and bodies through the lens of storytelling. My goal is to inspire others to reconnect with their personal narratives, honor their ancestral roots, and see themselves as the heroes of their journeys. Through storytelling, I encourage individuals to tap into their creativity, embrace their unique stories, and discover the power of their imagination and heritage.
"This year's Stories and Books for Young People was nothing short of magical. Your words transported us and the children to new worlds and reminded us of the power of storytelling to inspire, heal, and connect. Your ability to engage and captivate is truly a gift!"
