A decision that would change not just her life, but the lives of so many more.
Serving as the Executive Assistant to the President, Lina had the privilege of supporting five different college presidents. She helped design the ASU ring and worked to do her part to make ASU what it is today.
A devoted Catholic, Lina actively supported Angelo Catholic School where her sons attend elementary school.
