Alicia Duran

Alicia Durán has lived all over the United State, but her roots are in New Mexico. With grandparents born in San Ildefonso and father born and raised in Santa Fe, Alicia heard language closer to colonial-era than modern peninsular or Latin American Spanish while growing up. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish Language and Literature from Bryn Mawr College and a Master of International Affairs from Columbia University. She currently lives and works in children's publishing in Maplewood, New Jersey.
