Selenne Yescas is a Latina born in Yuma, AZ and raised in

San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora. Currently a graduate student

pursuing her Masters of Landscape Architecture at the University of Arizona, her passion for community continuously shines through in every project she takes part in. When it comes to outdoor landscape spaces, her mind flourishes, envisioning a place where people can gather and celebrate life with their loved ones beside an alluring sunrise, captivating sunset, or even under the light of the moon and stars.

 

Her devotion to school, business, and family is

something that she takes great pride in. In her childhood,

she assisted her abuelita (Mamá Lupita) around the house, 

especially when it came to preparing meals for the day. Before

any bite reached the tip of her mouth, Mamá Lupita would utter

“Provecho”, an expression commonly used in the Spanish 

speaking world that implies to make the most of your meal. It is seen as a form of courtesy and strongly rooted in togetherness. You can expect Selenne to say “Provecho” once the picnic or event is set up with firm belief of sending love from her community to yours.

​

Here at Provecho Picnics and Events, Selenne strives to deliver an

experience as magical and comforting as she always felt when

enjoying a meal or a snack with her abuelita. So for that, we toast

and say “Provecho” to you and your loved ones for every gathering spent  at our dining tables, because nothing tastes better than being together.
