She regularly DJs at the local milongas in the San Francisco Bay Area. She has been invited to DJ at many major events in the United States, Asia, and Europe.
One of her many dreams is to break cultural and language barriers through the Tango Poetry Project (More than 800 tango lyric translations, videos introducing its creators, and stories behind tango, all free and available at www.tangopoetryproject.com). Her interactive lectures and DJing with lyrics & translation projections have opened many tanguero’s eyes to the world of tango poetry.
