My name is Lila. I was born in Taos N.M. and have lived in New Mexico my whole life. I was raised in over 28 different group homes and foster homes all over New Mexico and have lived the last eighteen years in Santa Fe. I became a youth advocate at the age of sixteen and remained actively advocating for seven years. I attended Vogue and became a licensed esthetician (skin care specialist) and very much love my esthetic community and clientele. In September 2022 I joined the Lived Experience Advisory Board and have been an active member over a year now and serve as Treasurer. I feel so fortunate and honored to be a part of the Santa Fe N.M S3 volunteer community and plan to continue serving for as long as I am able.
