Prior to returning to New York City in 2011, Uribe worked with the Peruvian government to bridge education and national museums. Her goal was to use art education, practice and appreciation to  forge a stronger sense of cultural identity and empower younger generations in the rich history of the country. Working with universities, archeological sites and notable museums such as Museo de Arte, Lima and Museo Larco, Uribe was awarded a Diploma of Honor by Peru’s Ministry of Education in 2013.
