Aileen has played a significant role in enriching the community’s cultural and aesthetic landscape, including the creation of community murals along Niagara Street. She recently launched “Luz d Tull,” a family‑owned online boutique based in New York that offers unique, Hispanic‑inspired attire and creative workshops. In addition to her artistic endeavors, Aileen manages the older adult programming at West Side Community Services, where she shares her talents with the senior community.
