Involvement
I am an active member of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Board, the Moot Court Board, and the Student Bar Association. I’m also a Scholar for Justice.
Passion
I started working when I was 12, alongside my farmworker parents in the fields. The work was hard, dirty, and heavy, but the workers inspired me. These summers taught me what hard work and resilience look like. It was here that I learned the value of community. These experiences fueled my passion for social justice and equity. I hope to serve my community: immigrants, non-English speakers, and people lost within or intimidated by the legal system.
