Fun Fact: I used to surf without knowing how to swim. When I decided to learn to swim as a sophomore in high school, it was water polo season, so I joined the water polo team and ended up making the varsity team. I never played water polo again but became a swim teacher through college.
Why did you join the G2B Support Team? I was an undocumented student at Fullerton College at a time when there were no services to support undocumented students. While I have now been in the US for a long time, I understand the cultural displacement of migration and documentation status. I am here to support students through what I recall being a difficult time in my life.

Fun Fact: I worked in farm labor from 12-17 years of age in Salinas California picking strawberries. I disliked the work so much I couldn’t eat another strawberry until I was almost 30 years old.
Why did you join the G2B Support Team? Growing up in a mixed immigration family I understand the fear and stress our G2B students experience. I joined to support our students and their families. I joined to advocate for our G2B students and provide whatever expertise I have to advocate for them.

Fun Fact: I have two dogs, two turtles, and a cat! I’d love to adopt many more animals, but I do not have the space.
Why did you join the G2B Support Team? I joined the G2B Advisory Board because I believe that all students deserve equal access to education and resources. With my financial aid background, I hope to provide helpful information that will facilitate the navigation of financial aid processes for G2B students. It is said that education plays a major role in the growth and progress of a society. I strongly believe that G2B students must be a part of that growth and progress.
