Background
I am a first-generation college graduate, a mother of five, and a former Fostering Success Program student. My educational journey has not always been traditional, and I have had to navigate college while balancing family responsibilities and overcoming challenges along the way. Those experiences have taught me resilience, perseverance, and the importance of having a strong support system. I graduated from Colorado State University with my bachelor’s degree in Ethnic Studies with a minor in Indigenous Studies, and I am currently completing my Impact MBA at CSU. My experiences have made me passionate about supporting students who may not always see themselves represented in higher education and reminding them that their backgrounds and experiences can be strengths.
Fun Fact
A fun fact about me is that I am a mom of five and still love finding opportunities to travel, learn, volunteer, and try new experiences whenever I can!

I enjoy spending time with my children, traveling, attending cultural and community events, learning about history, volunteering, exploring the outdoors, and finding new opportunities to connect with and serve my community.
Communities
I identify with the Native American/Indigenous and Mexican American communities, the first-generation college student community, the foster care/FSP community, and the community of student parents and single mothers.
