Bio

Living in society as a low-income, first-generation brown Latina inspires me to direct my mind towards success and work hard for the sake of my well-being, my family, and community. I plan to graduate from UC Berkeley in order to help alleviate the struggles my family faces and continue using my compassionate nature to help others.
