Background
In my position with the Office of Academic Access and Disability Resources (AADR), I provide support to students with disabilities, academic support to any student interested in improving their academic strategies, and connections to resources that enhance academic experiences. As a first-generation college student, I am passionate about removing educational barriers for students and creating opportunities for academic success.
I also serve as the advisor for the student-led organization on campus called 51¹ÙÍø Disability Alliance (DDA). The disability community on campus is growing and I encourage anyone interested in learning more to connect with us.
Over the years, I have developed a strong connection with the campus community and enjoy building relationships with students, faculty, and staff. I'm originally from Mexico and embrace opportunities to engage in conversations about learning and cultural experiences. I look forward to continuing to serve 51¹ÙÍø and promoting educational learning opportunities for all.
