Monserrat Alvarado

As a first-generation low-income Latina, Monserrat Alvarado witnessed the disparities that exist within immigrant communities in the United States. Growing up and advocating for her Spanish-speaking immigrant parents motivated her interest in immigration work and community efforts. After passing the California Bar Exam, Monserrat plans to work at a legal organization or law firm to promote just and culturally relevant systems that provide accessible resources to diverse and marginalized communities. Monserrat is a 1L at UCLA School of Law.
