Biography
I grew up on Los Angeles California, where I learned that education was a key determinant to attaining greater opportunities. In 2003, I graduated Cum Laude with an Associate's degree in Biology from West Los Angeles College. In college I was able to experience a more diverse environment, which expanded my relationships and understanding of the significant differences between social statuses and the importance of outreach organizations and community activists who advocated for the underprivileged. In 2006, I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry & Bio-Chemistry from Cal State University Dominguez Hills. After graduation, I volunteer worked for two years at CSUDH in a genetics research program as a way of giving back to my Alma Matter and as a way to continue my education. After my scholar life I became committed to growing the small business my husband and I had started while I was in University. Pursuing the American dream we purchased a home in the City of Commerce. Being part of this new community and faced with the concerning issues that would further impact our environment, I became an advocate for the residents' right to participate and have a voice in our city. Following my belief that all residents deserve the right to live in a beautiful, healthy, fair, prosperous and safe environment, I decided to run for Commerce City Council.
