The anonymous interviewee is a thirty-two-year-old Salvadoran woman who has been working in the seafood processing industry in New Bedford, Massachusetts. She was born on October 24, 1976, in San Sebastian, San Vicente, El Salvador. She is the third child in a large family of fourteen siblings, two of whom have passed away. Her father struggled to find work and support the family due to the extreme poverty they lived in. This economic hardship was a significant factor in her decision to immigrate to the United States.
