Dayani Castrejón
Pronouns:
She, her, hers
Dayani Castrejón is an incoming graduate student from Chicago, Illinois. Obtaining a bachelor’s degree in English and Creative Writing from the University of Iowa, her true passion fell within her Latinx Studies minor, where she found her true passion. With her master’s degree, she hopes to intertwine research on the U.S./Mexico Border and transnational identities with a Juris Doctor, advocating for marginalized communities as an immigration lawyer some day. At home, her golden retriever and black cat cheer her on from the sidelines, always waiting to curl up with her and a good book. Besides adjusting to Arizona heat, she enjoys watching any new movie at the cinema, being active, and cooking new recipes at home.
