Her Story
A Public Spirit
If it were not for her parents' courageous decision to immigrate to the US, Aurora would not have her life as a loving wife and mother of two, and as a successful lawyer. Born in the Philippines to a family of eight, she understands the importance of having a good education, of working hard and in being accountable for all that we do. She realized her dream of being a lawyer by working her way through law school, working during the day and going to school at night. Once finished with her law degree, she set out to fulfill her public spirit.
