As a first-generation college graduate and law student., Yomaira brings hands-on experience in immigration advocacy and social justice to her legal studies. She holds a B.A. in Ethnic Studies and Spanish, with a minor in Planning, Public Policy, and Management from the University of Oregon. During her undergraduate years, she was a grassroots organizer challenging white nationalist movements and their anti-immigrant rhetoric.

On campus, she is an active leader and looks forward to serving as Co-President of ALIANZA in the coming academic year.
