Biography
I am passionate about democracy and I love making sure voters are informed about elections and the importance of who they are voting for!
I am a first-generation Mexican-American who is bilingual as well. I am also a first-generation college graduate with an environmental science related degree.
I came to Austin to help learn and advocate for education, and general advocacy as everyone deserves a voice.
With that, I find it a great privilege to be an American as we are filled with opportunities and finding optimism with what we can.
In my free time, I enjoy playing the piano, crafting, drawing with the medium of oil pastels, blogging and researching journalists. My personality ranges from being an active listener, not being afraid of speaking in front of a crowd of thousands, being genuine, and wanting to take action.
I am also a Texas Tech Alumni! Wreck 'em.
