Design rationale

She is an Associate Professor and Assistant Professor at the University of Houston-Clear Lake. She studied Marine Biology at the University of Puerto Rico, Humacao (1991–1995), and the marine motifs reflect both her academic training and career. The dolphin on the shield refers to her Puerto Rican heritage, her birthplace in Fajardo, and her personal value of honor. At her request, the shield ends in a semi-circular arch, in keeping with Hispanic heraldic tradition. The three escallops symbolize her family and her compassion. She currently resides in Houston, Texas, which is why the owl in her crest holds a bluebonnet (Lupinus texensis), the state flower of Texas since 1901. The owl represents her profession and her wisdom. A small gold heart on the chain pendant indicates her cadency as first daughter.

This is the coat of arms of Johann Anton Freiherr von Quast that was painted in the Freiherren diploma that was issued in 1790. I have written the text of the blazon for this coat of arms in English and in Castilian in a structured way, to highlight the parallelism between both forms.

Gules, a saltire Or charged with a fillet saltire Sable between in chief three escallops reversed Or; in dexter, a dexter arm embowed, vambraced Argent, holding an anchor Or; in sinister a two masted warship, with cannons ports and sails hoisted Or, two flags Gules, Argent and Azure flying to dexter, one in the main mast and one in the stern, on the hull the inscription «La Liberta» Sable; in base a crowned double-headed eagle displayed Or, holding two tassels, one in each beak, and two mullets of six points pierced, one in each talon Argent.

Escudo de gules, un sotuer de oro cargado de un flanquis de sable, acompañado en jefe de tres veneras ranversadas de oro; en la diestra, un brazo diestro doblado, armado de oro, teniendo un ancla de plata; en la siniestra, un navío de guerra de dos mástiles, con troneras, las velas izadas de oro, con dos banderas de gules, plata y azur ondeando hacia la diestra, una en el palo mayor y otra en la popa, en el casco la inscripción «La Liberta» de sable; en punta, un águila bicéfala coronada de oro, teniendo dos borlas, una en cada pico, y dos espuelas, una en cada garra, todas de oro.
