I was raised in Los Alamos, NM and went to college at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, NM. After college, I spent time in Honduras as a teacher, teaching Driver’s Ed, Environmental Science, Bookkeeping, Art, and Music before coming back to New Mexico and starting my career in nonprofits and advocacy at Animal Humane New Mexico in Albuquerque as the Partnership Outreach Coordinator.
I moved to Portland, OR and worked as Development Coordinator for some small nonprofits before landing at the State of Oregon Department of Human Services as a Case Manager. During the mid-pandemic, I decided to come home to New Mexico and moved back in 2023.
I originally went to New Mexico State University (NMSU), graduating in 2011, for my undergraduate degrees, earning a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Chemistry and a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology. I graduated with my Master of Public Administration with a concentration in Nonprofit Management in 2016. Now, I’m back at NMSU studying for my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree, graduating in 2027.
I decided to obtain an MSW when I was a Case Manager for the State of Oregon Department of Human Services working with participants on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and those who were experiencing domestic violence.
With this experience, I hope to continue helping my communities have meaningful and fulfilling lives. Specifically, I’m hoping to work with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples as well as those who have experienced domestic violence.
I enjoy crafts like quilting and collage and spending time with my dog Uhura, named after the Star Trek character, and my cat Julio, named after the musician Julio Iglesias.
