Maria Gomez

Maria Gomez grew up in Santa Rosa, NM where she enjoyed the simple pleasures of small town

life - family, community and the outdoors. After graduating from Santa Rosa High School, she

moved to Albuquerque and received her bachelor’s degree from The University of New Mexico.

She majored in Journalism and Mass Communication with a concentration in Multimedia

Journalism. Wanting to explore more creative writing, lead her to publishing her first short story

with the guidance of Plot Duckies. Plot Duckies gave her the tools to share a story that she’s

always wanted to bring to life about her childhood, growing up with her Grandmother and the

lesson she learned to never underestimate the power and comfort of a fresh tortilla.
