Having various pipeline opportunities for the Latino community to build out their educational access, Catholic schools offer this alternative. I am also aware that my faith has made a difference in my life and my spiritual formation has been a pillar of strength in hard times. I think Catholic education offers this for students as well.
It's a safe space for me to grow and question especially when there is a cultural lens present. Being in Catholic Latino spheres has been my experience for most of my life and I look forward to meeting leaders throughout the country in this work.
The apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary as the Virgen de Guadalupe has always been my guide. The Blessed Mary is very important to me in my faith and development as s mother. The Virgen has such complex history and came and spoke with the Native Juan Diego in his form and his tongue and for me that representation in that time period means so much.
