In 1971, the educator and activist founded the group and newspaper Hijas de Cuauhtémoc while as a student at CSU Long Beach. She was also voted the first female president of the Movimiento Estudantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA), was involved in the first United Mexican Students organization (UMAS), and went on to teach Chicano Studies courses at CSU Northridge.
