Rodríguez, I am 22 years old. I was born in

San Diego, California, but have lived in

Tijuana since birth, except right after

getting my high-school diploma. At this

time I had finished high school and

moved to Mexico City to start my college

education at ITAM. I came back to

Tijuana/San Diego when the pandemic

began, and in the summer of 2020 I

began working at Walmart. I worked

there for a year and a few months, and

then moved to an RV Resort, part of Sun

Outdoors, in 2021, where I was hired as a

Food & Beverage Assistant. I learned how

to bartend, and was added to the

bartender rotation soon after. I worked

there until April of 2023.

I am a founding member of the

band Isla Creta, from Tijuana. We have

been active since 2020, and have since

played venues all around our city and in

other parts of Mexico. I play bass in most

songs, guitar on a few, and I am

responsible for backup vocals. I

compose, and I write lyrics. As an

independent, emerging band, the job of

Manager falls onto the four of us. We are

responsible for coordinating all of our

shows, as well as sometimes organizing

whole events with or without other

involved bands, artists, or merchants.

I haven’t been able to continue

my college education since the

pandemic forced me to pause, but am

working hard to make it a possibility for

myself in the near future.
