I was born in Mexico and came to the U.S. at a very young age with my family where we settled
in Yakima, Washington. I grew up in Yakima where I graduated from A.C. Davis high school.
During my last two years of high school, I was also enrolled full-time in the running start
program with Yakima Valley College, where I obtained an AA degree upon graduating high
school.
After high school, I attended Washington State University in Pullman, Washington where I was
actively involved in the Undocumented Initiatives Department. Being involved with this
department allowed me to work with immigrant students through lobbying in Olympia for bills
benefitting the undocumented community. Lobbying on behalf of the university allowed me to
testify in front of a committee that was deciding whether undocumented students should have
access to state-funded student loans, a bill that was later signed into law creating a memorable
moment. I was also Co-Chair for Mariposas Poderosas, a student organization aiming to
empower undocumented students while providing them with resources to succeed in higher
education.
I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science Pre-Law with a minor in Comparative
Ethnic Studies from Washington State University. I plan to continue my education by pursuing a
juris doctor degree and become an attorney to serve the immigrant community.
As a DACA recipient, I know the firsthand struggles and barriers undocumented people face.
This has made me incredibly passionate about helping others while being able to relate to many
of our clients. As a Legal Assistant, at Barajas Law I work effortlessly to help our clients with an
array of matters always keeping in mind their best interest while eagerly helping our community
