Viviana joined the Hand Up Network Immigration Services Team in April of 2022. She received her Associates Degree at Trinity Valley Community College and pursued a career as a dental assistant  for 5 years.  During this time, Viviana was blessed to work with many clients and help them receive dental care through the Bethesda Clinic program.  It ignited a passion for helping others with similar backgrounds and she’s excited to now help even more through the Hand Up Network Immigration Services Program.

Viviana also volunteers alongside her mother Maribel at the Disciples Clinic in her hometown of Athens, TX; translating for both patients and the doctors.

She was born in Querétaro, Mexico and came to the United States at the age of one. As a DACA Dreamer herself, she has a passion for helping people and making a difference in her community.

She is a proud pet parent of a Boxer named Loki.
