I am a single mom of two amazing girls. I hope to teach them tolerance, peace and love through my social justice work. An ally to the immigration reform movement, I became involved after a life-changing internship with the Florida Immigrant Coalition. Being introduced to the realities and horrors of our failed immigration system, drove me to devote myself to making changes at the grassroots level. In 2010, I served as the Logistics Project Manager for the Trail of DREAMs, a 1,500 mile walk by DREAMers ending in Washington DC. My current work has led to establishing the Friends of Adelanto Detainees; a community-led visitation program at the for-profit, immigrant detention facility in Adelanto, California. I am also a research assistant for the National UnDACAmented Research Project, a study to determine the benefits and barriers of DACA. The goal is to write policy recommendations to better serve undocumented youth.
