She is also the creator & host of the Latinas with Masters Podcast; a multicultural minded podcast created to inspire, empower and education our community about navigating the hard knocks of higher education while embracing and preserving our language, culture and identities.

She is a #FutureDoctora and pursuing her doctorate degree in Education from Mills College. A wife, Mother of 2 and a dog mom, she enjoys a good book & a vanilla latte to reset and recharge.
