| I was born and raised in Iowa City, my parents moved here from Venezuela in order for my dad to train at the University of Iowa with the plan of leaving Iowa after three years. That plan changed when they fell in love with Iowa and decided that the strong community and world-class public schools made it the best place to raise kids. I received a wonderful public education at City High and went to college at the University of Chicago. In middle and high school I volunteered for the Obama and Clinton campaigns and in college I organized my classmates to make calls for the 2018 midterms in Iowa. |
