From 826LA in Echo Park

Name: Xochitl Ruiz
Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Occupation: Entertainment Marketing

Takis or Hot Cheetos? Takis! 100%! When the students first introduced me to Takis, they’d burn a hole in my stomach, but now I eat them like a boss! 💪

Favorite 826LA moment(s)? Some of my favorite moments have been when I’ve seen the students are proud of their writing. The look of accomplishment on their faces is everything.

Takis or Hot Cheetos? Hot Cheetos

Favorite 826LA moment(s)? My favorite moment so far has been answering the questions of a high school student who was excited by, and a tad anxious about, the idea of attending college in my hometown of Boston.
