Elizabeth A. Zamora Hometown: Chicago, Illinois Year: 2008! College: Silliman Major: Psychology What do you miss about your hometown that you can’t find in New Haven? I miss my goddaughter, Kierra, the convenience that comes along with being in such an urban area with access to a car and the food. What interests you about folkloric dancing and why did you join this group? This type of dancing has always captured my attention. I joined this group my sophomore year because I thought to myself, “this is finally my chance.”

What is your favorite folklorico dance and why? Hmm… I really love La Bamba from Veracruz because it is so lively and the version that we dance is infused with a modern version of the song so I get the best of both worlds. Biography My parents were both born in Mexico, but I was born in Chicago. I have two brothers and three sisters. My family is very close, so we have lots of really great times and some pretty great fights too. I am senior psychology major and I don’t plan on doing anything with it. I hope to be a first year law student next year. I have an odd personality. I am obsessed with detail and I am the kind of person who makes her bed everyday. I really love ballet folklórico and I plan to do my best to make this year one of our greatest.
