| Eva was born and raised in Arizona and attended valley public schools from kindergarten through high school. She studied nursing at Pima Medical Institute in Mesa and began a career in emergency nursing in 2012. In her many years working in high volume, high acuity emergency departments in Phoenix and Mesa, she saw firsthand the impact that insurance status, food insecurity, access to education, homelessness, and multiple other disparities have on individuals, families, and communities in Arizona. Eva committed to returning to school to obtain her master's degree and nurse practitioner credentials and became dedicated to improving the lives of Arizonans through compassionate and comprehensive healthcare. Eva is a nurse at heart and believes in the values that nursing expects within the profession. Among them are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, integrity, honesty, and justice. These are the values Eva promises to bring with her to the Arizona legislature as she advocates for a better, more inclusive Arizona that works for everyone. She is currently a precinct committee person in legislative district 9 and lives in Mesa with her husband, her two young sons, and her 2 dogs. |
