In this interview, I met with Aimara Flores Esq. We discussed the differences in our upbring and through higher education- she is from the diverse Texas state, and I grew up in the Midwest. Our experiences were far different, but we found a common understanding where we both dealt with balancing our families, cultures, and overcoming barriers are first-generation students. Listen in to find out how Aimara attended community college and is now a district attorney. 

Aimara was born and raised in Houston TX. After finishing community college at San Jacinto College, she transferred to the University of Houston where she earned her B.S in History. She then went on to South Texas College of Law Houston and passed the TX bar in 2020. She now works as an Assistant District Attorney in Harris County.

Daughter to a Peruvian father and Mexican mother, she is the first lawyer in her family. Aimara is a proud mother of a young daughter and has raised her daughter alongside her husband while raising their daughter to believe that she can do anything she sets her mind to. Aimara’s daughter has been her #1 cheerleader throughout her career, inspiring her to be the best version of herself. During her free time, Aimara enjoys going for a run with her dog Luna and getting lost in a good book.
