I'm working on an auto-fiction novel and a documentary film about my life as one of El Salvador's disappeared children. 

At the beginning of my sophomore year at Beaver, I learned that I had been separated from my birth family during the country's civil war, and they had been searching for me for 14 years. After a tear-filled reunion, I spent the next 20 years traveling to Central America, getting to know my family and myself. 

The film and book are based on my experiences and are nearing completion.
