I immigrated to the United States from Mexico as a young child and because of the harsh political climate, I found refuge in education. As an undergrad, I am currently working on a few passion projects regarding student equity such as The Alumni Panels for Connections and Resources, as well as Assertiveness Training for Women By Women. I am also working on publishing my research on the Association of First Generation College Students to U.S. Dominant Culture for my Honors Anthropology class. After I get my PhD in Philosophy, and my bachelors in Cultural Anthropology, I plan on either working for National Geographic or teaching in a University to continue conducting research. (Zaira attends Miramar College and her major is Philosophy.)
