I obtained a B.A. in history in 1998. While I was in school, I began working as a labor organizer for the Organizing  Institute, AFL-CIO. After graduation, I continued working as a labor organizer for the Service Employees International Union. I wanted to obtain a greater understanding of law and went to law school, so I could utilize this understanding to empower historically marginalized peoples. After law school, I primarily practiced civil litigation and worked on a pro bono basis for the Garment Worker's Center, which offers a multitude of civic orientated services, including free legal services to garment workers. Currently, I am in the PhD program and my interests include, Latina/o faith-based civic action and the gender relations therein.
