Edith is a recent graduate from California State University, Northridge, where she majored in graphic design. She has lived in Southern California for 20 years; since she emigrated, at the age of three, from Copandaro, Michoacan, Mexico, where she was born. While at CSUN, she met and worked with Dreams To Be Heard, an undocumented student group on campus. It was there that she was inspired to create a similar group to provide support for undocumented students in her community. Edith has created Ventura County DREAM Scholars, which serves as a DREAM network to bring together the different immigrant and student community groups that already exist; Dreamers without Borders and Oxnard College DREAM Club. She hopes to inspire more DREAMers to come out of the shadows and pursue their dreams of higher education, because everyone has a RIGHT TO DREAM.
