She graduated from the University of Chicago with a Master’s in Sociology. To complete her M.A. degree she conducted interviews with the Mexican American community in Chicago on issues related to mental healthcare and access to care. Her Bachelor’s degree is in Psychology and Honors Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts from the University of New Mexico.
