Selective Mutism Step Forward Scholarship
When people first meet me, they might not immediately realize that I grew up dealing with selective mutism. For those who don’t know what that is, it basically means there were situations where my brain decided that speaking was suddenly the most difficult task in the world. Not because I didn’t have thoughts or opinions (trust me, I had plenty), but because my brain would just hit the “nope” button when it came to actually saying them out loud.
Imagine being in a classroom where the teacher asks a question, you know the answer, and your brain is yelling, “Say it! Say it!” but your mouth is just sitting there like it forgot how to function. That was me a lot of the time. It could be frustrating, awkward, and sometimes a little embarrassing, especially when people assumed I was just being shy or didn’t want to participate.
Growing up with selective mutism definitely came with challenges, but it also taught me some important things about patience, empathy, and perseverance. I learned that communication isn’t just about talking. Sometimes it’s about listening, observing, and finding different ways to express yourself.
One of the ways I found my voice was through creativity, especially photography. As a concert photographer, I get to capture moments where artists connect with audiences through music and emotion. Ironically, even though selective mutism made speaking difficult at times, photography allowed me to communicate in a completely different way. A single photo can tell a story, capture energy, and express feelings without needing a single word. For someone like me, that felt incredibly powerful.
Another important part of my journey has been the support I received from people around me, especially my boyfriend. Having someone who is patient, understanding, and encouraging makes a huge difference when you’re dealing with something like selective mutism. He helped me feel more confident, supported me when things felt difficult, and reminded me that progress doesn’t have to happen all at once. Sometimes it happens one small step at a time.
Because of these experiences, pursuing higher education means a lot to me. Studying music business allows me to combine creativity with practical knowledge about the music industry. Music is something that brings people together, and being able to work in that environment is incredibly exciting for me.
Higher education also represents growth and opportunity. It’s a chance to continue developing my skills, gaining confidence, and exploring new possibilities. Every class, project, and experience helps me move closer to building a career where I can contribute to the creative world that inspires me so much.
Selective mutism may have made certain parts of my journey more challenging, but it also shaped the way I see the world. It taught me resilience, creativity, and the importance of supportive relationships.
Most importantly, it showed me that even if your voice doesn’t always come out the way you expect, you can still find powerful ways to express yourself, and sometimes those ways can be even more meaningful than words.
Marilynn Walker Memorial Scholarship
If you told my younger self that higher education would help me turn running around concerts with a camera into an actual business plan, I probably would’ve laughed and gone back to editing photos at 2 a.m. But here I am. Being a concert photographer already feels like living inside the coolest chaos ever, loud music, flashing lights, artists jumping around the stage, and me trying not to get knocked over while capturing the perfect shot. The thing is, taking great photos is only half the job. The other half is understanding the business side of the music industry, and that’s where higher education comes in.
Studying Music Business in Berklee College of Music helps me understand what’s actually happening behind the scenes of the concerts I photograph. While everyone else is enjoying the show, there’s a whole world of managers, labels, promoters, marketing teams, and data analysts making the magic happen. Learning about things like marketing strategies, revenue streams, branding, and analytics helps me see the industry in a completely different way. Instead of just thinking, “Wow, that was an amazing concert,” I start thinking, “How did this tour get promoted? Why is this artist trending right now? How can visuals and photography play a role in building that artist’s brand?”
Higher education also gives me tools that photographers don’t always think about at first: networking, negotiation, and strategy. It teaches me how to position myself not just as “someone who takes photos,” but as a creative professional who contributes to an artist’s image and story. A single concert photo can end up on tour posters, album campaigns, social media, press articles, or even streaming platforms. Understanding the business side helps me turn those moments into real opportunities.
Another huge advantage is being surrounded by people who are just as obsessed with music as I am. In a place like Berklee, everyone is building something, artists, managers, producers, marketers. That environment creates collaborations that could easily turn into future tours, campaigns, or creative projects. Basically, today’s classmates might be tomorrow’s industry leaders.
So higher education isn’t just about textbooks or lectures for me. It’s like getting a backstage pass to understand how the music industry really works. The more I learn, the better I can combine creativity with strategy, photography with branding, and passion with business. And if everything goes according to plan, one day I won’t just be photographing the music industry, I’ll be helping shape it.
Love Island Fan Scholarship
If I were in charge of creating a brand new Love Island challenge, it would definitely be called “The Red Flag Olympics.” Because let’s be honest, half the drama on Love Island happens when someone suddenly realizes the person they like has about 27 red flags waving in the wind like they’re at a parade.
Here’s how the challenge works. All the islanders line up in the garden, and in front of them there’s a giant obstacle course that looks like a mix between a dating game show and a slightly chaotic summer camp activity. Each couple has to go through different stations that test how well they actually know each other. The first station is “The Lie Detector-ish Zone.” One islander answers questions like “Would you still pick your partner if a new bombshell walked in right now?” while their partner watches their heart rate on a big screen. If the heart rate goes crazy… well… good luck explaining that later.
The next station is “The Red Flag Toss.” Islanders are given a pile of red flags with relationship problems written on them like “leaves you on read,” “still texts their ex,” or “says they love pineapple pizza.” They have to guess which red flags their partner thinks are the biggest deal and toss them into matching buckets. If they guess wrong, a giant confetti cannon explodes and the whole villa sees the mistake.
The final round is “The Temptation Sprint.” One partner has to run through a path where other islanders try to distract them with compliments, flirting, and dramatic slow-motion hair flips. Meanwhile, their partner watches from the finish line holding a giant green flag. If the runner makes it without getting distracted, they win the challenge and a romantic villa date.
The best part is that the winners get a fancy sunset dinner, while the couple with the most red flags has to share an awkward “communication workshop” the next morning in front of everyone. Which, honestly, might be even more entertaining for the viewers.
Learner Math Lover Scholarship
If someone told 10-year-old me that one day I’d say I love math, I probably would’ve laughed and gone back to taking pictures of my stuffed animals pretending they were rock stars. But somehow, somewhere between becoming a concert photographer and studying music business, math stopped being that scary subject with confusing numbers and turned into something surprisingly cool. The moment it clicked for me was when I started learning about data analytics. Suddenly math wasn’t just numbers on a page, it was like a backstage pass to understanding what’s actually happening in the music industry.
As a concert photographer, I already spend a lot of time observing things. I watch the crowd, the lights, the energy, and try to capture the perfect moment when everything lines up. Data analytics feels kind of like doing that, but with numbers instead of a camera. Instead of catching a guitarist mid-jump, you’re catching patterns in streaming numbers, fan engagement, or tour performance. And when the numbers start telling a story, it’s actually pretty exciting.
Math also makes the music world feel less mysterious. Why does one song explode on Spotify while another disappears into the void? Why do certain artists sell out tours while others struggle? When you start looking at the data, math becomes like a detective tool that helps answer those questions. It’s almost like solving little puzzles, except the puzzles are about real artists, real fans, and real trends.
The funny thing is that math, which once felt like the villain of school subjects, now feels more like a secret superpower. It helps me understand the industry I love, make smarter decisions, and see patterns other people might miss. Plus, there’s something satisfying about turning a giant pile of numbers into a clear story. And honestly, anything that helps explain the wild, chaotic world of music is pretty amazing in my mind.
Ella's Gift
When people talk about mental health, it sometimes sounds like this huge, complicated subject that only doctors and therapists fully understand. For me, mental health became real the moment my brother Juan died. That one event changed a lot about my life, including how I see the world, other people, and even myself.
After Juan passed away, I went through a period of depression that felt like carrying around the heaviest backpack ever… except nobody could see it. You know, like one of those backpacks full of bricks that makes you walk like a robot because your shoulders are screaming in protest. The weird thing about depression is that on the outside, everything might look normal. People might see you laughing at a joke or doing homework and think, “Cool, everything’s fine.” Meanwhile, your brain feels like it forgot how to press the “happy” button, and even simple things, like making breakfast or replying to a text, feel like climbing Mount Everest.
But going through that rough time also taught me a lot about people. It helped me understand that everyone is carrying something invisible, even if they look fine. Some of the most “together” people I know have their own heavy backpacks, and you never know what’s inside. That’s why I try to be patient, kind, and maybe even a little funny with people, because sometimes a small laugh or someone actually listening can make a bigger difference than you realize.
Experiencing loss and depression also changed my goals. I want to build a life where I can support others, where people feel like they’re not alone in their struggles. I want to remind people that tough moments don’t last forever, even if it feels that way sometimes. I’ve learned that healing takes time, and it’s messy, but it’s real. You slowly learn how to carry the memories of people you love while still moving forward. It’s like learning to carry that heavy backpack without letting it completely crush you, sometimes you even figure out how to sneak a snack from the backpack along the way, metaphorically speaking.
If Juan taught me anything, it’s that life is unpredictable, often frustrating, and sometimes downright unfair. But the best thing we can do is take care of each other along the way. And if we can, we should try to add a little humor to life, too. Even on the hardest days, a small laugh can make things feel a tiny bit lighter, and sometimes that’s exactly what people need to keep going.
Juan’s passing was the hardest thing I have ever experienced in my entire life, I’m not going to lie, but it also gave me a lot of perspective. It showed me that mental health isn’t just a “big, complicated thing,” it’s real, it’s human, and it matters in everyday life. Now, I try to live in a way that honors that lesson: by being compassionate, supportive, and maybe even making someone laugh while carrying my own invisible backpack.
Taylor Swift Fan Scholarship
Talking about Taylor Swift is always kind of dangerous for me, because I could go on forever. But if I have to pick one performance that I found the most moving, it’s definitely her 1989 World Tour performance of “Clean.” I know, I know… it’s not the big, glittery stadium moment like some of her other songs, but there’s something about that performance that just hit me straight in the heart.
First of all, Taylor has this weird superpower where she makes a stadium full of people feel like she’s singing directly to you. And during “Clean,” she was just standing there, the lights dim, the music soft, and it was like all the confetti and flashing screens disappeared. Suddenly it was just her voice, the lyrics, and this really raw emotion that felt super real. Watching it, I could feel the story she was telling, the kind of feeling where you’ve been through something messy, sad, or complicated, and then somehow you’re okay again.
What makes it even funnier is that I was watching this at home, and I was way too dramatic, crying like my life depended on it while my dog stared at me like I was completely insane. But that’s exactly the point, Taylor’s performances have this weird power to make you feel every single lyric, even if you’ve never met her and you’re just sitting on your couch in your pajamas.
I also love how this particular performance shows her growth as an artist. “The Life of A Showgirl” celebrates her career in the spotlight, but the “Clean” performance reminded me that it’s not just about the big, flashy moments. It’s about the small, quiet moments where you can see the person behind the fame. She’s been in the public eye for so long, and yet she can still find a way to connect with people in a deeply personal way. That’s kind of amazing when you think about it.
Plus, there’s something funny about how I can watch her perform in a stadium of tens of thousands of screaming fans and still feel like she’s speaking directly to me. Like, how does she even do that? It’s basically sorcery. But it also taught me something about performance, storytelling, and vulnerability. It’s okay to show emotion. It’s okay to be raw and messy sometimes. And even in those big, glamorous careers, or life moments, we’re all just trying to get to our “clean” place eventually.
So yeah, if I had to pick one Taylor Swift performance that genuinely moved me, it’s that one. It made me laugh, cry, and think way too much about life and growing up. And honestly, I think that’s the point of her work: making people feel, even when they’re just sitting on their couch with snacks and a blanket, watching a pop superstar make a stadium feel like a tiny living room. It’s kind of magical, and also kind of hilarious when you really think about it.
Christian Fitness Association General Scholarship
If you’re wondering why you should consider me for this scholarship, the honest answer is… I don’t know. I mean, there are probably a lot of applicants who have everything perfectly organized, amazing achievements, and a five-year life plan that probably involves becoming wildly successful before turning thirty. Meanwhile, I’m a Berklee student who is trying to balance school, concert photography, and life while sometimes wondering if I remembered to charge my camera batteries. But what I can say is that I work really hard, care a lot about what I do, and I’m determined to keep improving no matter what challenges show up.
One of my biggest academic accomplishments is being a student at Berklee College of Music (Master’s Degree in Music Business if you’re asking). Getting accepted there was a huge moment for me. This university is known for having incredibly talented students, which means you’re constantly surrounded by people who are extremely passionate about music, creativity, and important people you don’t even know. It’s inspiring, but it can also be a little intimidating sometimes. There are moments where you hear someone perform something amazing and think, “Wow… I guess I have to learn an instrument too.” But instead of feeling discouraged, that environment motivates me to push myself and keep growing.
Outside of college, one of the things that defines me the most is being a concert photographer. While most people go to concerts just to enjoy the show and cry over your favorite band, I’m usually the person trying to capture the perfect moment with my camera while everything around me is moving at full speed. If you think taking photos at a concert sounds easy, imagine trying to take a clear picture while the lights are flashing in ten different colors, the artist suddenly jumps across the stage every 3 seconds, and the crowd is cheering loudly behind you. Like my boyfriend says, It’s basically a controlled chaos.
Concert photography has taught me a lot about patience and quick thinking. Sometimes you only have a split second to capture a moment, and if you miss it, that moment is gone forever. Other times you think you got the perfect shot, only to look at your camera later and realize you somehow photographed a blurry microphone stand instead of the artist. That’s always an interesting experience.
Even with those challenges, photography has become something really important in my entire life. It has helped me develop discipline, creativity, and problem-solving skills. You can’t just show up with a $5,000 camera and expect everything to work perfectly just because it’s expensive. You have to practice, study lighting, learn from mistakes, and keep improving. Those same habits help me academically too, because school requires the same kind of persistence.
Of course, my journey hasn’t been completely easy. One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced during school has been balancing everything while dealing with limited financial resources. Being a student already comes with plenty of expenses, and photography equipment is not exactly cheap. There have definitely been moments where I felt overwhelmed trying to manage school responsibilities, creative work, and financial stress at the same time.
But instead of letting those challenges stop me, they pushed me to become more determined. I focused on improving my skills, finding opportunities to grow, and staying motivated even when things felt stressful. Sometimes perseverance means working harder, and sometimes it just means reminding yourself why you started in the first place.
Receiving this scholarship would help me focus more on my education and creative development without constantly worrying about financial obstacles. My goal is to continue growing as a student and as a photographer while contributing to creative communities that bring people together through music and art.
So while I may not have everything perfectly figured out yet, I do know that I am really passionate, determined, and willing to put in the work to achieve my goals. I want to keep learning, improving, and contributing to small creative communities that inspire people. Who knows? Maybe I can change someone’s life or be the inspiration of a new music video.
And if there’s one thing I’ve learned so far, it’s that success doesn’t always come from having the perfect plan. Sometimes it comes from showing up, working hard, and doing your best, even when life feels a little chaotic. And of course, making sure your camera battery is charged before the concert starts definitely helps too (or your lens cap is taken out).
Tawkify Meaningful Connections Scholarship
One of the most meaningful relationships in my life is with my boyfriend, Cristopher. The interesting part is that our relationship is long distance, which means most of our time together happens through our phones. Instead of normal dates like going to the movies, playing videogames or even grabbing food together, our “dates” usually involve video calls, sending memes, watching TikToks, and trying to figure out why the internet suddenly stopped working at the worst possible moment.
At first, I thought long-distance relationships sounded like something extremely difficult. I mean, how are you supposed to stay close to someone when they’re not physically there? But being with Cristopher has taught me that relationships aren’t just about being in the same place. They’re about effort, communication, and actually caring about the other person.
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is communication. When you’re in a long-distance relationship, you can’t just sit next to someone and expect them to automatically know how you feel. You actually have to talk about things. You have to say what’s on your mind, explain your feelings, and sometimes even admit when you’re wrong (which is not always my favorite part). But those conversations help build trust and understanding between us.
Cristopher has also taught me a lot about patience. There are days when our schedules don’t match, when one of us is busy with college or life, or when technology decides to betray us. Nothing is more awkward than trying to say something important while the video freezes and the other person is stuck on the screen looking like a statue. But even with those small frustrations, we always find ways to make time for each other.
Another thing that makes our relationship special is the small moments we share. Sometimes it’s just a simple message saying good morning, a random joke, or talking about our day. Those little interactions might seem small, but they actually mean a lot because they remind us that we’re thinking about each other even when we’re far apart.
This relationship has also changed the way I build connections with other people. I’ve learned that strong relationships require effort, honesty, and consistency. Whether it’s with friends, family, or a partner, people want to feel heard and appreciated. Taking the time to listen, check in, and support someone can make a huge difference.
Being in a long-distance relationship has shown me that meaningful connections aren’t defined by physical distance. Instead, they’re built through trust, communication, and shared experiences, even if those experiences happen through a phone screen most of the time.
In the end, my relationship with Cristopher has helped me grow as a person. It has taught me how to communicate better, be more patient, and appreciate the people who are important in my life. And while long-distance relationships can definitely be challenging sometimes, they can also be incredibly rewarding. Plus, they teach you one very important life skill: always make sure your Wi-Fi is working before starting an important conversation.
Elijah's Helping Hand Scholarship Award
When people talk about mental health, it sometimes sounds like a big complicated topic that only psychologists or therapists fully understand. But for me, mental health became very real when my brother Juan died. That moment changed the way I see life, relationships, and even my goals for the future.
After Juan passed away, I went through a period of depression that honestly felt like carrying around an invisible backpack full of bricks. From the outside, everything probably looked normal. I still went to school, talked to people, and tried to keep up with life. But inside, it felt like my brain had suddenly switched to “low battery mode.” Even small things sometimes felt harder than they should have been.
Grief is strange because it doesn’t follow a schedule. Some days you feel okay, and other days something small reminds you of the person you lost. A song, a memory, or even a random thought can suddenly make everything feel heavy again. If life were a video game, I felt like I had accidentally unlocked the “hard mode” level.
But going through that experience also changed the way I understand people. It made me realize that everyone is carrying something, even if you can’t see it. Someone might look completely fine on the outside while dealing with something really difficult inside. Because of that, I try to be more patient and understanding with others. Sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is simply listen, be kind, or try to make them laugh a little.
This experience has also shaped my goals. I want to build a future where I can help people and remind them that they are not alone when they’re struggling. Mental health is something many people deal with, but not everyone feels comfortable talking about it. If sharing my experiences can help even one person feel understood, then something positive can come from a very painful moment in my life.
Losing Juan will always be a part of my story, and it’s something I will carry with me. But it has also helped me grow stronger, more empathetic, and more aware of the importance of supporting others. Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes really hard, but I’ve learned that people can still move forward.
And if possible, it helps to keep a little humor along the way. Even during tough times, a small laugh or a good memory can make the weight feel just a little bit lighter.

Now I try to be more patient and kind, because you never know what someone else might be going through. Sometimes just listening or making someone laugh can make a bigger difference than you think.
It also changed my goals. I want to build a life where I can support others and remind people that tough moments don’t last forever. My experiences have shown me that healing takes time, but it does happen. You slowly learn how to carry the memories of people you love while still moving forward.

Lotus Scholarship
Coming from a single-parent household means my mom is basically the CEO, manager, and sales rep of the house all at once. It’s just the two of us, which means we’ve had to figure a lot of things out together. Sometimes that includes serious things like budgeting, and other times it includes important questions like, “Do we really need to buy that?” (The answer is usually no.)
Growing up in a low-income household definitely teaches you creativity. When something breaks, you don’t immediately replace it, you try to fix it or at least pretend it’s not broken for a few months. It also teaches you patience and perseverance, because you realize that some things take longer to achieve, but that doesn’t mean they’re impossible.
Watching my mom work hard every day has probably been the biggest lesson of all. She’s shown me that even when things are stressful or difficult, you keep going anyway. You don’t just quit because something is challenging. Instead, you take a deep breath, maybe complain a little (because let’s be honest, everyone does), and then keep moving forward.
Because of these experiences, I’ve learned to appreciate opportunities like education much more. I know that every class, scholarship, or chance to learn something new is a step toward building a better future, not just for me, but for my family too.
In the future, I want to use what I’ve learned to make a positive impact in my community. I want to show other students from similar backgrounds that their circumstances don’t define their potential. Sometimes all someone needs is encouragement, opportunity, and maybe a reminder that success doesn’t happen overnight.
If my experiences have taught me anything, it’s that perseverance, support, and a little bit of humor can help you get through almost anything.
New Beginnings Immigrant Scholarship
So, picture this: a small town in Puerto Rico, where opportunities are as rare as sunny days during hurricane season. Yes, that’s where I grew up. That little town in the middle of nowhere might not have had much, but it had something more valuable... heart. Passion lived in its streets, in its people, in the music playing from every corner. And that heart is what drives me today to pursue a Master’s degree in Music Business.
Fast forward a few years. I am currently living one of the most amazing chapters of my entire life as a freelance concert photographer. And yes, as a fangirl, it’s incredible, I won’t lie. Capturing unforgettable moments on stage, feeling the electricity of the crowd, freezing emotions in a single frame… it feels like pure magic. But I’ve realized something important: I want more. I want to understand what happens behind the scenes, the structure that allows those magical moments to exist. I want to dive into the business side of the music and live event industry.
Growing up where dreams often felt out of reach, music became my escape. Artists like Prince Royce weren’t just voices on my headphones, they were proof that someone from a small place could reach the world. Through his music, I learned something invaluable: resilience. In a community where everyone knows everyone and gossip spreads faster than wildfire, resilience became my armor and my motivation.
So why a Master’s degree in Music Business? Simple. I want to transform passion into a sustainable career. I want to understand the industry from the ground up, from contracts and rights to marketing strategies, from a simple idea to the biggest concert in the entire world. Knowledge is the bridge between talent and longevity, and I want to cross it fully prepared. Small towns often lack the resources to study what you truly love. That’s why it’s up to dreamers to shine even in the dark.
With this Master’s degree, I aim to create opportunities where none existed before. I want to empower emerging artists to chase their dreams without any limits, especially those who come from places like mine.
Of course, I have dreams of my own too. With this degree, I see myself managing artists, organizing unforgettable events, and perhaps even launching my own record label. The possibilities are endless, and that’s exactly what excites me.
I won’t pretend this journey will be easy. There will be challenges, moments of doubt, and obstacles along the way. But if I was able to earn my Bachelor’s degree despite the odds, I know I can do it again.
So here’s to the dreamers. To the believers. To those who refuse to be defined by their surroundings. Here’s to small-town kids with big dreams, and to a future where anything is possible if you're willing to work for it.

In a community where everyone knows everyone and gossip spreads faster than wildfire, resilience became my armor and my motivation.
So why a Master’s degree in Music Business? Simple. I want to transform passion into a sustainable career. I want to understand the industry from the ground up, from contracts and rights to marketing strategies, from a simple idea to the biggest concert in the entire world. Knowledge is the bridge between talent and longevity, and I want to cross it fully prepared. Small towns often lack the resources to study what you truly love. That’s why it’s up to dreamers to shine even in the dark.
With this Master’s degree, I aim to create opportunities where none existed before. I want to empower emerging artists to chase their dreams without any limits, especially those who come from places like mine.
Of course, I have dreams of my own too. With this degree, I see myself managing artists, organizing unforgettable events, and perhaps even launching my own record label. The possibilities are endless, and that’s exactly what excites me.
I won’t pretend this journey will be easy. There will be challenges, moments of doubt, and obstacles along the way. But if I was able to earn my Bachelor’s degree despite the odds, I know I can do it again.
So here’s to the dreamers. To the believers. To those who refuse to be defined by their surroundings. Here’s to small-town kids with big dreams, and to a future where anything is possible if you're willing to work for it.
Candi L. Oree Leadership Scholarship
Living with Type 1 diabetes since the age of three has shaped the way I see the world, the way I relate to others, and the kind of leader I strive to be. For as long as I can remember, my life has required constant awareness, discipline, and resilience. While most children worried about homework or playtime, I learned early how to monitor my blood sugar, count carbohydrates, and make quick decisions to keep myself safe. What began as a medical condition became the foundation of my independence, responsibility, and emotional strength.
Growing up with diabetes taught me that challenges don’t have to limit you, they can prepare you. Managing a chronic condition every day means planning ahead, staying calm under pressure, and adapting when things don’t go as expected. Those skills have carried into every area of my life, from my academic journey to my professional work in the music and creative industries.
Diabetes has also deeply influenced my relationships. Living with a condition that isn’t always visible has made me more empathetic and attentive to others. I understand that everyone carries something unseen, whether it’s a health condition, financial stress, or personal struggles. This perspective has shaped my leadership style. I lead with patience, communication, and emotional awareness, creating environments where people feel supported, understood, and valued.
In my professional experiences, particularly as a freelance concert photographer, diabetes has strengthened my ability to lead in high-pressure situations. Long event days, unpredictable schedules, and physically demanding environments require careful preparation and quick decision-making. I’ve learned to advocate for my needs when necessary, manage my energy strategically, and remain focused even when my body is not at its best. These experiences have made me more organized, proactive, and solution-oriented, qualities that naturally translate into leadership.
Beyond personal discipline, diabetes has given me a deeper sense of purpose. It has reinforced my belief that leadership is not about perfection, but about persistence and responsibility. I’ve learned to show up prepared, to stay calm in uncertain moments, and to keep moving forward even when circumstances are difficult. These experiences have shaped my confidence and my commitment to growth.
As I pursue a career in the music business and live events industry, I carry these lessons with me. I aspire to take on leadership roles where I can manage artists, coordinate teams, and create meaningful experiences. Living with diabetes has shown me that success requires planning, adaptability, and the ability to lead yourself before leading others. It has also strengthened my commitment to building inclusive environments where people feel empowered to bring their full selves to their work.
Diabetes did not make my path easier, but it made me stronger, more disciplined, and more compassionate. It taught me that leadership begins with resilience, the ability to face challenges every day and still move forward with purpose. That mindset continues to shape my goals, my relationships, and the impact I hope to make in my career
Strong Leaders of Tomorrow Scholarship
So, picture this, a small town in Puerto Rico, where opportunities are as rare as sunny days during hurricane season. Yes, that’s where I grew up. That little town in the middle of nowhere might not have had many resources, but it had something more powerful… heart. Growing up there didn’t just shape my dreams, it shaped my sense of responsibility to create opportunities not only for myself, but for others.
Fast forward a few years, and I am living one of the most exciting chapters of my life as a freelance concert photographer. Capturing unforgettable moments on stage, feeling the energy of the crowd, and freezing emotions in a single frame feels like magic. But through this experience, I discovered something important about myself: I naturally step into leadership roles. Whether it’s coordinating with artists, managing high-pressure environments, communicating with production teams, or solving unexpected challenges on the spot, I’ve learned to take initiative, stay calm, and make decisions that keep everything moving forward.
At the same time, I’ve realized I want to grow beyond the lens. I want to understand what happens behind the scenes, the structure, strategy, and leadership that make those magical moments possible. I want to become someone who doesn’t just capture the experience, but helps create it.
Growing up where dreams often felt out of reach, music became my escape and my inspiration. Artists like Prince Royce weren’t just voices in my headphones, they were proof that someone from a small place could reach the world.
In a close-knit community where resources were limited, I learned to take initiative early. I sought out opportunities, built my own projects, and learned to create momentum instead of waiting for it. That experience taught me one of my strongest leadership qualities: the ability to build something from nothing and bring people together around a shared vision.
So why a Master’s degree in Music Business? Because leadership in the music industry requires more than passion, it requires knowledge. I want to understand the industry from the ground up: contracts, rights, marketing strategy, artist development, and live event management. I want to develop the skills needed to lead teams, manage artists, and make strategic decisions that create sustainable careers and meaningful opportunities.
Small towns often lack access to specialized education and industry connections. That’s why my goal goes beyond personal success. With this degree, I want to create pathways for emerging artists, especially those from underserved communities, so they don’t feel limited by where they come from. I want to mentor, support, and advocate for talent that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Of course, I have personal goals as well. I see myself managing artists, producing impactful live events, and eventually building my own creative platform or label. But leadership, to me, is not about titles, it’s about impact. It’s about opening doors and making the path easier for those who come after.
I won’t pretend this journey will be easy. There will be challenges, moments of doubt, and obstacles along the way. But I have already proven to myself that I can persevere. If I was able to earn my Bachelor’s degree and build a freelance career despite limited resources, I know I have the discipline, resilience, and leadership mindset to take this next step.
So here’s to the dreamers. To the builders. To those who refuse to be defined by their circumstances. Here’s to small-town kids with big dreams, and to leaders who turn those dreams into opportunities for others.

But let me tell you something, that little town in the middle of nowhere might not have pretty much, but it had heart and passionate people in the streets. And that heart is what is driving me to pursue a Master’s degree in Music Business.
Now, let’s travel in time a bit. I am currently living the best years of my life as a freelance concert photographer. It is really awesome as a fangirl, I won’t lie. Capturing those amazing moments on every stage, feeling the energy through the crowd… It is literally magic. But here is the thing, I want more. I want to dive deeper into the world behind the event industry, the business side of things.
Growing up in a place where dreams often felt out of reach, music was my escape. It was my favorite artist (Prince Royce), the person behind every single song I listened to. And let me tell you something, his music taught me something invaluable, resilience. In a community where everyone knows everyone, where gossip spreads faster than wildfire, resilience became my armor.
But why a Master’s degree in Music Business? Simple. I want to learn how to turn my passion into a sustainable career, to understand the ins and outs of the industry, from contracts to marketing strategies from just an idea to the biggest concert of the world.
The thing about small towns is the lack of resources to study something you really love. And it’s up to us, the dreamers, to shine even in the dark.
With this Master’s degree I’m planning to start on august, I want to create opportunities where there were none before, to empower aspiring artists to chase their dreams without any limit.
Don’t worry, I’ve got dreams of my own too. With this degree under my belt, I see myself managing artists, organizing killer events and maybe even starting my own record label. The possibilities are endless, and that’s what excites me the most.
Now, I won’t pretend like this journey is going to be a walk to the park. I know there are going to be challenges ahead, moments where I’ll doubt my abilities. But hey, If I could before with my Bachelor’s degree, I know I can do it again.
So, here’s to the dreams, the believers, the ones who refuse to be confined by the limitations of their surroundings. Here’s to the small-town kids with big dreams, the ones who dare to defy the odds. And here’s to the future, where anything is possible if you’re willing to work for it.

But let me tell you something, that little town in the middle of nowhere might not have pretty much, but it had heart and passionate people in the streets like Chappell Roan. And that heart is what is driving me to pursue a Master’s degree in Music Business.
Now, let’s travel in time a bit. I am currently living the best years of my life as a freelance concert photographer. Even if I’m not working with Chappell Roan, ft is really awesome as a fangirl, I won’t lie. Capturing those amazing moments on every stage, feeling the energy through the crowd… It is literally magic. But here is the thing, I want more. I want to dive deeper into the world behind the event industry, the business side of things.
Growing up in a place where dreams often felt out of reach, music was my escape. It was my favorite artist (Chappy, like my mom calls her), the person behind every single song I listened to. And let me tell you something, his music taught me something invaluable, resilience. In a community where everyone knows everyone, where gossip spreads faster than wildfire, resilience became my armor.
But why a Master’s degree in Music Business? Simple. I want to learn how to turn my passion into a sustainable career, to understand the ins and outs of the industry, from contracts to marketing strategies from just an idea to the biggest concert of the world.
The thing about small towns is the lack of resources to study something you really love. And it’s up to us, the dreamers, to shine even in the dark. With this Master’s degree I’m planning to start on august, I want to create opportunities where there were none before, to empower aspiring artists to chase their dreams without any limit.
Don’t worry, I’ve got dreams of my own too. With this degree under my belt, I see myself managing artists, organizing killer events and maybe even starting my own record label. The possibilities are endless, and that’s what excites me the most.
Now, I won’t pretend like this journey is going to be a walk to the park. I know there are going to be challenges ahead, moments where I’ll doubt my abilities. But hey, If I could before with my Bachelor’s degree, I know I can do it again.
So, here’s to the dreams, the believers, to Chappell Roan, the ones who refuse to be confined by the limitations of their surroundings.

The thing about small towns is the lack of resources to study something you really love. And it’s up to us, the dreamers, to shine even in the dark. With this Master’s degree I’m planning to start on august, I want to create opportunities where there were none before, to empower aspiring artists to chase their dreams without any limit.
Don’t worry, I’ve got dreams of my own too. With this degree under my belt, I see myself managing artists, organizing killer events and maybe even starting my own record label. The possibilities are endless, and that’s what excites me the most.
Now, I won’t pretend like this journey is going to be a walk to the park. I know there are going to be challenges ahead, moments where I’ll doubt my abilities. But hey, If I could before with my Bachelor’s degree, I know I can do it again.
So, here’s to the dreams, the believers, the ones who refuse to be confined by the limitations of their surroundings. Here’s to the small-town kids with big dreams, the ones who dare to defy the odds. And here’s to the future, where anything is possible if you’re willing to work for it.

So, picture this: a small town in Puerto Rico, where opportunities are as rare as sunny days during hurricane season. Yes, that is where I grew up. But let me tell you something, that little town in the middle of nowhere might not have pretty much, but it had heart and passionate people in the streets. And that heart is what is driving me to pursue a Master’s degree in Music Business.
Now, let’s time travel in time a bit. I am currently living the best years of my life as a freelance concert photographer. It is really awesome as a fangirl, I won’t lie. Capturing those amazing moments on every stage, feeling the energy through the crowd… It is literally magic. But here is the thing, I want more. I want to dive deeper into the world behind the event industry, the business side of things.
Growing up in a place where dreams often felt out of reach, music was my escape. It was my favorite artist (Prince Royce), the person behind every single song I listened to. And let me tell you something, his music taught me something invaluable, resilience.
