Her efforts have enhanced her commitment in promoting cultural awareness around the United States. Mrs. Guerrero was the first of seven children in her family to graduate and earn her BA and MA from the University of Texas at El Paso. Mrs. Guerrero founded and became the artistic director of the International Folklorico Dance Group.
