About me:

I am from a Hispanic white Cuban family which immigrated to Miami in the ’80s. My first language is Spanish I learned English in school. As a child I was in ESOL classes and struggled to learn how to read English which lead to me retaking 3rd grade. Both of my parents are immigrants. My father is a political prisoner who was incarcerated for 10 years and my mother is a single mother of two. My older brother had two children at 17 which required a lot of my mother’s attention. I am the first woman and person in my family to obtain a bachelors degree and be in graduate school all while having a full time job.
