During my first visit as a prospective graduate student I sat in one of Dara's class, I felt welcomed, even though at that moment I was a stranger to her. The following year I became her student and eventually she became my advisor. Whenever I met with her to talk about my progress or to talk about my writing, I always came out with renewed energy. I would tell her of my academic frustrations and difficulties I was encountering, she would always reaffirm and encourage me by saying that these moments were normal and that everyone goes through it. Our conversations will always ended with lighthearted memories of life experiences. I will remember her laugh, her Cuban accent, her kindness towards her students. I was fortunate that my mother had the opportunity to meet her as well. Dara we will miss you.
