About Me

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, 

 I was born and raised in Santa Ana, CA, Orange County. I am a Mexican-American. I now live on the East Coast but teach the Muslim community in English and Spanish in the U.S. and abroad. 

With your help, I will be able to complete my Certificate in Chaplaincy from the Chicago Theological Seminary so that I may continue to grow and serve the Muslim community. There are no scholarships or financial aid options available to certificate students, and the total tuition for the certificate is $17,076.

 I have finished my Master of Arts in Theology/Ethics and Social Change; Islamic Studies from Claremont School of Theology. I was the first in my family to graduate from a 4-year university by completing my B.A. in Political Science and Law from California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA) while simultaneously working on a Bachelor in Theology and Islamic Law from California Islamic University (CIU). I have also attended various Islamic classes and intensive personal studies in the Islamic Sciences with scholars in the U.S. that have given me private tutelage. 

I have taught for institutions like New Jersey Islamic School, LinkOutside Prison Outreach, Trenton Prison, Insight Academy, Islamic Society of Orange County Garden Grove, CA Mosque, Islamic Institute Orange County Dawah Outreach, Islamic Institute of Orange County New Muslim-Mentoring, New Horizon Private School Pasadena, LALMA/La Asociacion Latino Musulmana de America, Latina Muslim Foundation, Why Islam, ICNA, Islamic Learning Center ICNA, and Masjid Noor Rosarito/Tijuana Mexico. I am also involved with educating Islam abroad in Tijuana, Jalisco, Cuidad Juarez, and Rosarito Mexico.

May Allah bless us all with happiness, patience, and strength in this world and the hereafter.
