Outside of this, Angel loves to spend time weight lifting, reading, playing music, driving, writing poetry, art design, and more. They also love pop culture, which is something they would love to talk about.

Angel comes from a line of teaching in Mexico, which motivates them to come to spaces of teaching. As well, they are hope to use teaching, education, and this space to bridge the gaps between BIPOC and FLI students in policy and the greater Stanford community. As a program coordinator, they think of the chances, the bridges, the intersections, and passion they bring and other’s bring to cultivate educational equity.
