Daughter of Mexican immigrants with generational roots in Texas and California, Celina earned a Bachelor of Arts in Latino Studies, a Master of Arts in Government, and a Master of Business Administration from Texas Woman’s University. Her mother is Olga from Sinaloa and her father Luis from Michoacán. Her grandfather Francisco Vazquez was a bracero recruited to work in Uvalde, Texas. She has 3 sisters and 1 brother raised in a union household. Her father Luis worked at Kal Kan Pet Food for 25 years and was a member of UFCW Local 770 while Olga worked for the school district and was a member of CSEA. Celina and her siblings are first-generation college graduates. She is also a proud graduate of Leadership America, Leadership Texas, Leadership Brazos, Las Comadres Para Las Americas Texas Public Policy & Civic Engagement Program, the Women's Campaign School at Yale, and the New American Leaders Training.
Professionally, Celina is currently an Academic Recruiter at a local university. Her role is to educate and inform future students. She travels throughout Texas to help bolster interest in healthcare careers at an early age.

Celina has worked very hard in party-building activities at the grassroots level as an SDEC member and now a DNC member.
