My dream is to become a justice lawyer and to have a practice of my own that helps put traffickers behind bars.

My father was very strict when I was young and I wanted freedom.  I was vulnerable.  An older boy convinced me to fall in love with him. He took me to live with him in another town, locked me in a room and forced me to work as an escort at a bar.  I was forced to lure older men to buy drinks for me at this Catina.  The next step was that I was to be trafficked as a prostitute.  I saw no hope of escape, but my father found me and rescued me.  For a year, I went back home, but it was not safe because the authorities would not prosecute my trafficker and his family.  I went to live at Camino a Casa, a safe home for girls under the age of 18 years old. I met German and Lorena.  Because German was a lawyer, and I always dreamed of being a lawyer, I decided to pursuing a path to becoming a lawyer with the help of Reintegra.

I graduated with a degree in law in December of 2017.  Currently I am working full time as a lawyer helping oversee cases of trafficking victims.  I have assisted on several anti-trafficking cases including the one that has had the longest conviction of any trafficker in Mexico.  And in 2018, I was able to win a case for my good friend, Madai, who is also a part of the Reintegra family. I graduated with my masters in law in 2021.

My dream of becoming a justice lawyer is a reality and one day I would like to have a practice of my own that helps put traffickers behind bars.
