Personal Introduction
I moved away from home-a sunny, Mexican-infused Los Angeles-almost eight years ago. In those years, I went to college, worked in DC, and started law school. Staying away was my way of growing up on my own terms to become more than a putative American anchor baby. I came to the law because I want to respond to injustice, not just take note of it. And maybe, I'll make it back to California someday.
I still hope to fulfill my childhood career aspirations to be a:
reporter,
Agent Scully,
flautist,
public servant,
scholar,
textile designer...
Here I go!
