Why she works for Hispanic Access…

"I have a passion for working in underserved communities, lifting up Hispanic voices and sharing resources to build up the Hispanic community. Hispanic Access does exactly that!"

In her spare time…

“I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also love reading and watching movies.”

Her favorite book…

“I love to read my Bible as it reminds me of God's beautiful plan and promises. My favorite book has always been “To Kill A Mockingbird” ever since I read it in high school.”

A person she finds inspirational…

“My father is my inspiration, my hero, a warrior.. He has been such a great influence in my life. From picking “Pallitos” in the field at the young age of 15 to support his family, to serving in the military and becoming a Drug Enforcement Agent. He overcame many obstacles and tragic circumstances in his life by God’s grace and strength. He is now battling Alzheimer's disease and I can still see that warrior soul inside of him!”
