Hola! I am a 3rd-year double major in Political Science-Public Service and Chicanx Studies. I am from Pasadena, CA (SoCal) and when I first started here at UC Davis as a first-generation student, it was scary, but finding a sense of community through the Chicanx Studies Department has made Davis a home away from home. I look forward to connecting with you all and supporting you in whatever way I can.
