Her role in the campaign:
"My region mostly consists of Nevada, Colorado, Florida, and North Carolina, so that's super fun. I help them get their digital programs up and running, support them with their strategy."
Her story:
"I arrived to Brooklyn by way of DC after spending some time working for Senator [Cory] Booker and cutting my teeth at a Latino voter engagement nonprofit. I'm originally from Phoenix, AZ, but I've adapted to the East Coast humidity thanks to the Summers I spent visiting my family in Dominican Republic. Growing up in a family where strong women ran the show, Hillary was the quintessential role model, embodying the values we were raised with: work hard, no excuses, never lose your cool."
How she stays connected to her Dominican roots on long campaign days:
"We started a desayuno club. We were working a lot so we decided we should just start ordering food in the morning. It was a pretty basic idea, a couple people bringing in cereal, which was fine, but then it got pretty boring so I had talked about this Dominican restaurant that's next to my house and everyone was really pumped about it. I started ordering — mangu, queso frito, salami, and eggs — and it became a thing. The Latinos in the campaign don't really work that closely together. Our jobs are totally separate, but we kinda always catch up over food, which is nice."
