Arely, originally from Oaxaca, Mexico, grew up in Wilmington, North Carolina, and majored in Political Science at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.

Her transformative joint internship experience with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) and the United States Senate left an indelible impact on Arely’s life. At the U.S. Senate, she delved into critical issues such as military justice reform, cybersecurity threats, and the emerging challenges of artificial intelligence. On the other hand, her work with CHCI highlighted the significance of initiatives that support underrepresented groups and empower them to explore diverse career paths. Following her graduation, her focus shifted toward immigration law by advocating for DACA recipients, victims of violent crimes, spouses facing abuse, and human trafficking survivors.

At the Sanford School of Public Policy, Arely aims to further develop her interests in higher education, inclusion, and technology, aspiring to be a catalyst for positive change in these areas.

Aside from her academic pursuits, Arely finds joy in exploring restaurants, attending to her plants, testing out sunscreens, and cherishing moments with her family.
