Hello, Reader,
My name is Elizabeth and I am a PhD student at the University of Texas at Arlington. I am also a first generation US-born Salvadoran American who attended a public high school in Los Angeles County, CA, several community colleges and, eventually, a public university in Humboldt County, CA. My academic journey was long and winding and I am so grateful and optimistic about where I am now.
My goal is to affect social change using mathematics, especially in the pursuit of social justice. In everything that we do, we are part of a community. In math terms: no one is an isolated point.
I have always been involved in community organizations and as a graduate student I aim to be part of organizations that support and empower students. I look forward seeing to what change I can affect with my everyday actions as well as my research.
Make it a beautiful day!
