Since graduating from college, Erendira (we call her Edi ^.^ ) has served in numerous roles at CORRAL including Equine Manager and Latin Community Liaison, and now she’s off to the next chapter in her story.
This spring she will begin a Master of International Studies program at NC State. Through this program, she hopes to continue to advocate for the underrepresented, serving as a voice for those who are frequently overlooked.
We couldn’t be more proud of all that Edi has accomplished and excited that she will continue the legacy of our work as an advocate. This is a generational impact!
“Growing up in Mexico, my earliest years were marked with domestic violence and threats of kidnapping. As our domestic situation became increasingly dire, my mother relocated us to the US, away from my biological father.
I struggled to adjust to a new life and language. I joined the CORRAL Riding Academy in 6th grade and couldn’t be more grateful. Despite my struggles, I eventually became fluent in English and Spanish and excelled academically. Through this journey, God ignited my passion and skills of advocacy, justice, and service. It is with great pride that I am now the first in my family to attend college and post-college education.
I focus on giving back to the communities God had placed me in, like CORRAL.
