Jazmin Ibarra is currently finishing her last quarter at the University of California Riverside, where she is projected to graduate with her Bachelors double majoring in Linguistics and Spanish. Growing up in México and migrating at a young age Jazmin took a role as a translator for her parents which provided her with a skill that would continue with her professional career and which inspired her to return to school with an interest in Linguistics and Spanish. Given that Jazmin grew up in the state of Michoacán, México, the contact with the Purepecha language has been ingrained in her from a young age, she hopes to return to Michoacán in hopes of learning, understanding and reconnecting with the language and culture as well as continue working in community advocacy aiding the large population of Purepecha speakers that live in the eastern Coachella Valley, where she at present works with a non-profit.
