Katherine Vargas is leaving her position as White House Hispanic Media Director to become a public affairs manager for Google.

Vargas spoke about her departure to NBC News, stating she will miss being in the "front row seat" during historical events. She will also miss speaking out on the U.S.-Cuba policy changes and issues regarding the Affordable Care Act.

"When I moved here I hardly spoke any English, and to be thinking that fast forward to 2015 I would be in the Oval Office with the President -- not in a million years," she said.

The Colombia native came to the United States along with her parents when she was 14 years old and became a U.S. citizen in 2009. Vargas has a sister who came to America years before her arrival and was able to sponsor her and her parents.

"Being able to travel with the president to the Latin American summit was like a nice full circle in terms of my own history and my history as a Colombian immigrant," she said.

Vargas helped to spread information on the Obama administration policies to Spanish-Language media and to English-language Latino outlets. Last year, she played a major role in briefing the public about U.S.-Cuba foreign policy.

Now that she is leaving, the Latina trailblazer is reflecting back on some of her experiences at the White House.

"To be able to witness the first time that a President met DREAMers and families of undocumented immigrants in the Oval Office was a very powerful experience and just shows how great this country is," she said.

Latinos have made a large impact in America's history including the history specifically regarding the White House. Last month, the White House published details on how Latinos have shaped America's future in the past 25 years.
