Courses:



I am a first-generation American, first-generation college graduate, and first-generation higher ed professional. As the daughter of Salvadoran immigrants who fled a civil war and took ESL classes in their new country, I am passionate about advocating for students both inside and outside the classroom. My experiences as a bilingual, bicultural, and neurodivergent individual from a working class background have fueled my dedication to merging academic services with student support, with the aim of holistically empowering students.
 
Beyond my professional pursuits, I am a wife to a fellow first-gen ESL/English educator, a sister to a social services worker and TESL instructor, a proud tia, and a dog mom to two mixed German Shepherd rescues. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, putting together puzzles, dancing in my kitchen, and embracing continuous learning. I am excited to be a part of the Raices community and eager to learn from and collaborate with all of you!
