Fiasco Cru

Growing up in a traditional New Mexican family, hospitality was effortlessly woven into my being. The warmth of our big family gatherings; aromas and flavors of authentic chilé dishes; and the retelling of stories that never get old, are just a few of my fondest memories.

I started out my professional career in the Medical Field, doing clinical work for the University of New Mexico Hospital as well as home-based healthcare for Geriatric patients. So, in 2007, when my Grandfather became ill, I relocated back home to help care for him.

In order to make ends meet during this time, I accepted what I thought would be a temporary position at Encantado Resort. Needless to say, I fell in love with the Hospitality industry, and quickly went from Restaurant Hostess to Catering Coordinator to Director of Special Events, where I spent many years curating celebrations for some of the industry’s highest regarded properties.

Although I thoroughly enjoyed the exhilarating pace that Hotels & Resorts provide, in 2020, as the world paused, I too chose to slow down and redirect my passion and energy to life’s essentials – Family, Food, and Wine.

I am blessed beyond measure with two amazingly wonderful children and am now part of the Fiasco family, where I relish the balance; savoring life’s treasures while collaborating with the industry’s finest.
