Meet Itzel Bailon Her Experience is Your Experience
years old. “On one hand, I was excited because we were able to start living a better life,” she says. “But on the other hand, I was terrified. Starting at a new school where you don’t know how to speak the language of your peers is really hard. It feels like you’re always being looked at.” But it didn’t take long for Itzel to work toward the life she wanted for herself. Now, she’s helping others through similar situations. “I love what I do because I get to help people who are going through some of the same things I went through,” Itzel says. “I know how they feel, and why they’re confused or scared, so I know how to help.” When it comes to DACA, Itzel’s sentiments match our own. “DACA was an incredible program for me, and I know it can be for others too,” she says. “I get so much joy from helping people through the process, and seeing the change they experience when they qualify and no longer feel like they have to hide. They finally get to live the life they’ve dreamed of, and that’s an incredible thing to be a part of.” Itzel now has three kids of her own: a young daughter and two twin boys. Her life is filled with nonstop activity and love, and that’s the life she strives to help create for others. We’re honored to have Itzel’s incredible experience and passion on our team.

The violence in the area was getting so horrible that my mother decided it was no longer safe to continue living there.” Itzel was brought to live in Arizona when she was just 8
