Leticia will be the first member of her family to graduate from
a university. Leticia is originally from Sonora, Mexico, but moved

in her community; she works together with the City of South Tucson
in a program called "Weed & Seed" to promote a better life style
for at-risk youth. Leticia is also a youth leader for the Dioceses
of Tucson, in which she helps coordinate an annual conference
for all teenagers in the Dioceses, and is currently working in
Santa Cruz Parish helping to establish a strong youth group. Leticia
also volunteers at different Sunnyside elementary schools. Leticia's
main goal is to graduate and become a teacher for the Sunnyside
School District, because she went to school in that district.
