“I was a recipient of the Bar Review Scholarship in 2017. The scholarship allowed me to pay for my bar review course and pass the Texas Bar on my first try! Most importantly, I felt confident in the fact that the Austin Hispanic legal community had my back. I'm proud to be on the Board and hope to continue our support of incoming legal talent.”

“My legal career has undoubtedly benefitted from the continuous support of the HBAA Foundation. As a former law school and bar review scholarship recipient, I am honored to serve as a Board Member and co-chair of the Hispanic Heritage Luncheon. My HBAA familia has been with me through law school, as a young lawyer, and now as a law firm partner. I’m eternally grateful to all of our sponsors for supporting our mission and for helping us expand our reach across central Texas.”
