er place. Lina grew up in Peru
and Mexico, where her parents
were offered job opportunities,
before emigrating to Amer-
ica in 2005. Lina is a proud
product of Houston-area pub-
lic schools and, as her parents
dreamed, was the first in her
family to attend college in the
U.S. She graduated from Stan-
ford University with a degree
in political science the same
year she became a U.S. citizen.
Since arriving in Texas, Lina
has been committed to giving
back.
Before running for of-
fice, Lina dedicated hundreds
of hours to our county’s most
vulnerable communities—
from her time at the Texas
Civil Rights Project to serving
as a Spanish-English medical
interpreter at the Texas Med-
ical Center and supporting im-
migrants in search of lost loved
ones. While pursuing a joint
degree in law and public poli-
cy at NYU and Harvard, Lina
conducted research on crimi-
nal justice policies and coor-
dinated with advocacy groups
and governments to push for
criminal justice reform. Before
that, Lina worked through-
out Southeast Asia to promote
transparency and accountabil-
ity by supporting journalists,
bloggers and artists.14 4 DE MARZO - 10 DE MARZO | 2021
