Gloria Stephanie Alvarez Avendaño
I am a native of Mexico City. My family moved to Northern California during my childhood. It is where we continue to live.
I consider myself a creative soul, adventurer, musician, educator, space holder, and lover of all things chocolate.
I work professionally as a Choir Director. Outside of my profession, I am committed to learning and integrating indigenous and ancestral practices that help
decolonize me and my community.
I'm a musician and educator who uses the power of the voice to connect with people and create community.
One of the beautiful gifts from being alive is our ability to create simply because we can.
I savor the world through all my senses. My biggest lessons have come from traveling the world and immersing myself in different ways of living.
