Gabriella Tafoya-Torrez, B.A.

Gabriella is a native New Mexican with a love and passion for her culture. She received her Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Relations from UNM and plans to work with families after she graduates from SWC.  She is motivated by the challenges she faces, inspired by courageous vulnerability, and ardent about making a difference here at Southwestern and in the larger community. She is determined to increase multicultural awareness and competency, and plans on advocating for those who feel that their voice is unheard. She believes in the students of this school, and in the ideals SWC represents. We are artists, conscious learners, compassionate listeners, mindful practitioners, and so much more.  Each of us has the ability to create positive change in this world.
