She heard it was too expensive and support was limited for young Hispanic women like her, a first-generation Mexican American immigrant from the Rio Grande Valley.
“I faced a lot of obstacles, but I ended up being the first everything in my family,” said Davila. “I grew up in a family where English isn’t the first language, but I am the first one to graduate from college in the United States, the first one to do any type of grad school, and will be the first lawyer among my relatives and childhood friends.”
