My name is Gloria Gem Sanchez and I am an OTA Student at Santa Ana College, located on the traditional lands of the Acjachemen Nation .

I am an Interdisciplinary Artist, Artist-Teacher, Workshop Facilitator, Curator, and Community Organizer. 

My educational background is in Arts. I graduated from California State University Puvungna (Long Beach) in 2014 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drawing and Painting, as well as a minor in Art Education.

I am a helper by nature and a creative problem solver with an optimistic, curious drive as a life long learner. I thrive in community spaces and arts that center upon social practice & collaboration. 

As I continue this brand new lifeway, I invite you to engage with my shared experiences as I plant my seeds as a COTA .
