Tarabud

Tarabud is known to the public as a vocalist, actress, and writer. She was born in Chicago, Illinois, to Colombian immigrants. As a child, she lived with her maternal family in Colombia, South America, and grew up enfolded in the richness of Latin American culture. Later transplanted to California, she developed a bi-cultural identity that still inspires her creative work. She cultivated her love of story at California State University, Long Beach, where she completed a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature. Afterward, she relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area to complete a Master's Degree in Transpersonal/Somatic Psychology from John F. Kennedy University. She practiced as a Marriage and Family Therapist in California.

Tarabud has self-published two novellas: "La Botanica," "La Semilla," and a poetry collection, "In Moments Like These." She completed her first Young Adult novel while secluded on Bainbridge Island, Washington. "Nadir to Zenith" is a space opera for young adult science fiction lovers.

Tarabud resides with her husband and chickens in San Diego, California.
