Meet Karina
Karina was born in Nayarit, Mexico. Her family brought her to the United States at 11 months old. She grew up in a loving home in Aurora, Colorado, with both parents, 2 sisters, and brother. At the age of 16, as a Junior in high school, she was caught in the crossfire of a drive by shooting outside her school that left her paralyzed from the waist down. A year after the shooting she became an empowered activist against gun violence, speaking publicly, and showing a different perspective of survivors in hopes that her story can make a difference. In addition, she has been a health care and disability advocate. She has also volunteered with gun violence prevention groups, DACA advocacy and other immigration reforms. For the past 7 years, she has worked in the accounting department with the SSA Company.
