Biography
Born and raised in Sunnyside, Washington—a predominantly Hispanic community with limited access to legal services—I have seen how language barriers and a lack of representation can deeply affect families.
I graduated from Whitworth University in 2024 and am currently a 2025/26 LSAC PLUS Scholar, preparing to apply to law school in the 2026 cycle. While I’ve been heavily interested in immigration law, I’m also exploring other areas of law where I can make a meaningful impact. My ultimate goal is to help bridge the gap in Spanish-language legal services and be an advocate for underrepresented communities like my own.
Education
Whitworth University, Spokane, Washington
• Majored in: Political Science, Spanish Language, and Literature
