About me
I grew up in La Villita (Little Village), and I am a proud Latina. Both my parents are from Guatemala, Guatemala city and have lived the majority of their lives in Chicago. I am the oldest of four and the oldest grandchild, which has pushed me to understand the importance of family and community.
I am also a wife and a mother, a mom of a beautiful baby girl who is almost two years old. She has kept me on my toes and learning everyday. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, writing poetry, and listening to a variety of music.
Education & Experience
I attended Northeastern IL University for my B.A. in Secondary Education and English and M.A. in English Composition. I am currently attending the University of Illinois in Chicago (UIC) for my Doctorate in Urban Educational Leadership. I was the first in my family to earn a B.A., M.A, and hopefully an Ed.D. once I graduate.
