Summary

I am a second generation Mexican-American woman who is passionate about service to others and my Mexican-American community in the wider Bay Area. I hope to begin a career in community development and use my ample academic experience and intermediate Spanish to work with marginalized communities in an informed and effective manner. Teamwork, service, and effective communication skills are my strongest skills aside from my analysis, writing and typing. I would be a quick learning, eager, and collaborative addition to any team.
