Candidate Bio

As a believer in God, I am a proud U.S. citizen who was born and raised in a multicultural family. After completing my undergraduate studies in Spanish Language and Literature, I dedicated my academic career to the study of world religions and cultures. I earned a master’s degree in Religions and Cultures, followed by a doctoral degree in Theology from the University of Murcia in Spain, which let me to become a scholar and a college professor.

After working in academia for several years, I decided to change the direction of my career and wanted to use my linguistic and cultural expertise to serve as a cultural advisor for several U.S. government agencies.

I have always had a strong passion for politics and a deep desire to serve in Congress, continuing my commitment to the people of America, a nation that has given me countless opportunities, shaped who I am today, and supported my growth both personally and professionally. This is why I believe that I owe to this nation and I want to pay back as much as I can by working for my fellow Americans who deserve a better representation in the Parliament.

I appreciate the Libertarian Party members who have endorsed me for the sacred duty of serving my country at the heart of our nation. I believe that the old bi-partizan system does not function anymore and that America needs the Libertarian Party more than any time before. The Republican and the Democratic Parties completely forgot about their duty to serve to the citizens of this country and instead focused solely on foreign nation’s priorities and billionaire interest groups. As a Libertarian candidate, I will fight for the best interest of the American people, and the AMERICAN PEOPLE ONLY! So, let’s break the cycle and restore a government that is accountable, transparent, and truly representative of the people it serves.

Together, we can move beyond empty promises and partisan gridlock and build a future grounded in liberty, personal responsibility, and respect for individual rights. I ask for your trust, your voice, and your partnership as we work to ensure that freedom, justice, and opportunity remain the foundation of the United States of America.

ALL FOR AMERICA AND AMERICA ONLY!
