I was born and raised on Tongva land (Los Angeles), and moved to Wiyot land (Arcata) in 2013 to pursue my B.A. in International Studies: Latin American Studies at Humboldt State University. After completing my degree I continued my education at HSU, obtaining my Master’s in Social Science in the Environment and Community Program in 2020. I have a passion for addressing racial and social issues and continuously strive to support decolonial efforts. As Programs & Community Partnerships Coordinator, I hope to support the foundation’s goals and build a stronger and equitable community across the four regions we serve.

In my free time I enjoy going on long bike rides, hiking and spending as much time in the sun as possible.
