Newark, CAMy Greatest Supporters
My greatest supporters have been God, my Parents, my Husband, and my puppy! Thank you Momma and Daddy ji for all your sacrifices and pushing me for higher education. My patient loving Husband of mine, thank you for being my cheerleader & for not letting me give up during these past 3 years. Thank you Lord for giving me the strength and endurance.
Favorite Saint Mary's Memory
The fondest memories at SMC was when Dr. Anguiano & Dr. Martinez interviewed me. To see empowered LatinX woman in position was encouraging, being a person of color myself. Dr. Anguiano has always been in my corner and helped me in the most challenging times. Lastly, I will cherish the bonds I created with my peers, often sharing Hot Cheetos & walking each other to our cars at night to avoid deers!
My Next Chapter
I will be a School Psychologist serving the beautiful community of High schoolers in Oakland, Ca!

And then I realized that to be more alive I had to be less afraid so I did it… I lost my fear and gained my whole life.
