With extensive experience in Mexican American culture, I bring a deep passion and commitment to my role as an educator. As a Mexican American with lived experience, I offer a unique perspective and firsthand understanding of the cultural nuances and historical significance of the Mexican American experience. Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Chicano Studies and having also completed the 2022 MAS Teachers' Academy and the 2024 MAS Teachers' Academy, I have immersed myself in the study of Mexican American history, culture, and identity, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the complexities. As a founder of a community-focused organization dedicated to cultural enrichment, I have honed my skills in curriculum development, community engagement, and advocacy for Mexican American issues. From coordinating events such as Dia de Muertos celebations to leading initiatives for neighborhood growth and empowerment, i have demonstrated a commitment to fostering pride, resilience, and cultural appreciation within Mexican American communities. As a public librarian, I have organized numerous programs centered around Mexican American culture, providing educational resources and opportunities for community members of all ages. With an interactive and inclusive teaching style, I aim to inspire curiosity and instill a sense of cultural identify and belonging among young learners, empowering them to embrace their heritage and become global citizens.
