Coming from a similar background, I am an advocate for quality education access for communities of color and low income communities. For this reason, I am currently serving as a College Adviser in a community comprised of soon-to-be first generation college students with the National College Advising Corps. College access and completion for first-generation students is critical to the social mobility of low income communities in the United States. My own college access work with high school students from diverse backgrounds encourages students to not only apply to college, but decide on a productive post-secondary plan.

I am deeply passionate about college access for undocumented students, as they have the second lowest education level in the United States. My own experiences with immigration and education have informed my passion for low income and communities of color receiving quality education. My educational and personal background have taught me how to connect with a diverse cohort of communities.
