I was born in Santa Ana and raised in Area 2, surrounded by a large extended family. Growing up in a working-class household where my parents juggled multiple jobs to provide for my sisters and me, I learned the value of hard work and perseverance. We were always involved in afterschool programs and extracurricular activities, and it was through these experiences that I first began to see the strength of our community, and how we all came together to support one another. My upbringing in Area 2 shaped who I am today and sparked my passion for giving back to my community. 

As a first-generation Latina, I understood the importance of education early on and was determined to be the first in my family to pursue higher education. Thanks to the foundation I received from SAUSD, I earned both my Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree. I am running for school board because I want to inspire our students to see education as a powerful tool that can unlock their potential and open doors to success.

Currently, I serve as Co-President of my neighborhood association, where I work closely with local schools to bring vital city resources into the community. We partner with code enforcement, parks and recreation, the police department, the Rent Stabilization team, and other services, ensuring our neighbors have access to the information and support they need.

I am deeply committed to serving the same community where my family and I grew up and continue to live. Area 2 is my home, and I will work tirelessly to uplift and support it for generations to come.
