Citlali Cruz
Administrative Coordinator
Citlali Rosa Cruz is our Administrative Coordinator. She is a first-generation Mexican American- an identity that she feels has shaped her into the person she is today.
As a legislative administrator in Representative Avelar’s District office, her job is to help manage casework of constituents seeking assistance from our office and manage our office space so that it is functional and everyone has what they need to do their jobs well.
In her free time she loves to watch various artists she supports live, spend time with friends and family especially her beloved pet dog and turtle, and volunteers in her community whenever given the opportunity.
