She previously served as the 10th Deputy President of Gapla in 2025, and is currently a member of the Provisional Government, serving as the Minister of Public Relations.
During her tenure as Minister of Public Relations, she has made significant advancements as the Minister of Public Relations, using her experience to help the country grow its press coverage, social media presence, and citizen engagement.
An independent politician, Cordova is not affiliated with any political party and is often described as a centrist, depolarizing figure in the Provisional Government.
Personal life
Cordova was born in Manhattan, New York and was raised in Boulder, Colorado. She attended Mackintosh Academy, a private K–8 school in Littleton, Colorado. As a second grader at Mackintosh, she placed in the top ten nationally at the Creative Communication poetry contest with her poem The Elements of Nature.[1] In 2017, she was featured on local news after her toy "Budderball" was repaired by a local repairman.
She transferred to Astra Nova School for middle school, an online school co-founded by Elon Musk on the campus of SpaceX and described by the Washington Post as probably the "most exclusive school in the world," with an acceptance rate of approximately 3%.
After graduating from Astra Nova, she enrolled at Stanford Online High School, one of the top ten high schools in the United States,[2][3] and learned about Gapla through her classmate Wyatt Baek. She became a Gaplan citizen in 2024, and a few months later was admitted to the Provisional Government as the Minister of Public Relations. In 2025, she became Deputy President of Gapla following Connor Klinkosch's resignation, and became President of Gapla a few months later following Chelsea Chen's resignation, marking one of the fastest rises in Gaplan government in history.
