I am currently obtaining my Masters in Advocacy and Social Justice with concentration in Education. I hope to be able to assist foster youth that are placed within the group home setting to feel confident with attending and graduating school.

I am a Case Manager at a group home for boys. I have been working in this field for about 5 years and honestly, it was not what I intended on doing first out of college, however I am happy to have experienced it.

I was born and raised in Pomona, CA. I am one of 5 siblings and I am a twin. I obtained my B.A. in Sociology with a minor in Criminal Justice. Since I was born, I have been involved in the Foster Care system. Although I did not get placed out of my families care, I still dealt with the stigma that the foster youth that I encounter with at my job deal with currently. I have been an active volunteer with foster youth organization that focus on high education. I would like to continue to assist foster youth to inform them that college is accessible.

For my future plans in life, I plan on travelling as much as I can. This year, I traveled to Alaska and was able to see Northern Lights! In June I plan on traveling to Greece and learning about a new culture. I want to continue travel and see the world as much as I can even after obtaining my Masters and working to change the foster youth system.
