For my oral history interview, I interviewed Heather Garcia. I initially met Heather at the very first event I attended, which was the children’s art making workshop at Casa Familiar. Heather works with Casa Familiar as the community development assistant as well as the supervisor for the financial literacy program. She is a Mexican-American, born in the United States and had worked in the government world before coming to Casa. The main theme in our interview were Mexican immigrants and what its like for them to come to the states. We discussed some of the hardships that come along with that as well as the good such as more job opportunities and higher education possibilities. Heather spoke about her own experiences with her family as well as what she sees through the community.
