Passion for
Increasing Diversity in Science
As a double minority (Mexican American and
female), I am extremely passionate about helping
underrepresented minorities succeed in higher education and
science! I am the Director of the
Plains Bridges to the Baccalaureate
Program, which is a partnership between South Plains
College and Texas Tech University and funded by the National
Institutes of Health.
I am involved in several other
STEM Education
projects funded by the National Science Foundation with
collaborators in Mathematics, Biology, Education and Texas Tech
University Administrators.
I am also the faculty advisor for the TTU
Student Chapter of
SACNAS. I also recently
co-founded the
West Texas Association for Women in
Science.
