Had the honor of speaking to the incredible Upward Bound students from @CCAurora at @adamsstate!

It's through these conversations that students from backgrounds like mine can look at my journey and realize their own futures are limitless.

Fueling up on inspiration and connection at the 2026 CO-ALAS Conference! My duties as VP didn't end there as I was able to join the Latin American Educational Foundation at their 2026 Sueños to Success Scholars Celebration.

Let’s keep building those bridges! 🌉

Filled w/gratitude for @FLCSkyhawks & their generosity in hosting @adamsstate at the 2026 Indigenous Policy Institute. As Vice President, I'm constantly reminded that our mission is to open doors. Together, we are building a more informed Colorado.

I had a blast representing @adamsstate at the 2026 TACHE State Conference in Lubbock, TX!

The best part was the connection—catching up w/old friends while meeting a fresh wave of inspiring scholars, advocates, & practitioners dedicated to Chicanos/Latinos in higher education.

50 Years of @Lambdas1975!

​The impact of the first Latin fraternity in the nation is immeasurable!

​While I may be new to this fraternity, I look forward to the next 50 years where I can take part in helping lead, inspire, and change the lives of future Lambda Men.
