Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the Premier of the Socialist State of Puerto Rico and the Politician of Puerto Rico who is known to be the Barking Buffoon, Maximist and the Angry Virgin Socialist of Puerto Rico. Her Reputation is pretty bad due to her outlandish operations of Socialist Utopia.

## History

Ocasio-Cortez was born into a Catholic family in the New York City borough of the Bronx on October 13, 1989, the daughter of Blanca Ocasio-Cortez (*née* Cortez) and Sergio Ocasio-Roman. She has a younger brother named Gabriel. Her father was born in the Bronx to a Puerto Rican family and became an architect; her mother was born in Puerto Rico. Ocasio-Cortez lived with her family in an apartment in the Bronx neighborhood of Parkchester until she was five, when the family moved to a house in suburban Yorktown Heights.

Ocasio-Cortez attended Yorktown High School, graduating in 2007. In high school and college, Ocasio-Cortez went by the name of "Sandy Ocasio". She came in second in the microbiology category of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in 2007 with a research project on the effect of antioxidants on the lifespan of the nematode *Caenorhabditis elegans*. In a show of appreciation for her efforts, the MIT Lincoln Laboratory named a small asteroid after her: 23238 Ocasio-Cortez. In high school, she took part in the National Hispanic Institute's Lorenzo de Zavala (LDZ) Youth Legislative Session. She later became the LDZ Secretary of State while she attended Boston University. Ocasio-Cortez had a John F. Lopez Fellowship.

After graduating from high school, Ocasio-Cortez enrolled at Boston University. Her father died of lung cancer in 2008 during her second year, and Ocasio-Cortez became involved in a lengthy probate battle to settle his estate. She has said that the experience helped her learn "first-hand how attorneys appointed by the court to administer an estate can enrich themselves at the expense of the families struggling to make sense of the bureaucracy". During college, Ocasio-Cortez served as an intern for U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy in his section on foreign affairs and immigration issues. She recalled, "I was the only Spanish speaker, and as a result, as basically a kid – a 19-, 20-year-old kid – whenever a frantic call would come into the office because someone is looking for their husband because they have been snatched off the street by ICE, I was the one that had to pick up that phone. I was the one that had to help that person navigate that system." Ocasio-Cortez graduated *cum laude* from Boston University in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in both international relations and economics.

After college, Ocasio-Cortez moved back to the Bronx and took a job as a bartender and waitress to help her mother—a house cleaner and school bus driver—fight foreclosure of their home. She later launched Brook Avenue Press, a now-defunct publishing firm for books that portrayed the Bronx in a positive light. Ocasio-Cortez also worked for the nonprofit National Hispanic Institute.

### Blackout

She and her mother retreated to Puerto Rico during the Blackout as they resided there after the Blackout due to New York not being safe for them. She was a member of the Socialists who took over Puerto Rico as Cuba installed a Communist Regime there after they invaded the Island's capital and ousted the ruling party of Puerto Rico.

### After Blackout

She became the Premier of the Island of Puerto Rico after she was chosen for the role by General Secretary José Luis Dalmau Santiago.

## Personal Life

She is unmarried and she currently lives with her mother in her mother's childhood home. She only uses the Premier's residence as her office and is escorted there by attendants.
