Bold PointsBio
My name is Somara Quiñones, and I am from Plano, Illinois. I currently attend Aurora University and am pursuing a bachelor's degree in social work, along with a Spanish minor and the intent to also minor in criminal justice.
With the degree and minors, I hope to empower two of the most marginalized groups in America: non-English speakers, and those in prison or jail. Despite being the backbones of our society, Spanish-speakers and inmates are ignored the most when it comes to American legislation.
I identify as queer and Mexican American. While I do aim to work with volunteer groups to advocate for my people, I also hope to empower the voices of other marginalized groups.
"Be who you needed when you were younger." By now, most of us have heard that somewhere. With that, I hope to brighten others' lives, in the same way that my school social workers, counselors, teachers, friends, and professors have brightened mine.
As a future social worker and I aim for a career where I can brighten someone's life while empowering them to brighten their own.
My pronouns are she/her.
