Bio

I am a first-generation Mexican woman and the daughter of Mexican immigrants. My dream is to become an international human rights lawyer and help people all over the world. My passion for social justice stems from my own experiences with mistreatment and injustice. I believe that my heart and compassion are greater than those of most, and I am determined to make my parents proud.
