I think the hardest part about answering this question is that it feels weird to sit down and basically say, “Hello yes, I am amazing, please observe.” It’s kind of like writing your own movie trailer while trying not to sound like a superhero audition. But if I had to explain what gives me an advantage, I’d say it’s this: I know how to keep going even when things are difficult, messy, exhausting, or completely uncertain. As a student studying music business through Berklee College of Music, I’m balancing much more than just classes. I run my own crochet business, PlushieLove, while managing diabetes and chronic fatigue at the same time. Some days, honestly, just staying productive feels like trying to run a marathon while my body is operating on low battery mode. But despite that, I continue showing up for my education, my goals, and the future I want to build. What makes me different is not that my life has been perfect or easy. It’s that I’ve learned how to adapt. Living with invisible health conditions taught me discipline earlier than most people my age. I can’t always rely on having unlimited energy or “perfect conditions” to succeed, so I’ve learned how to work creatively, manage my time carefully, and keep moving forward even when things feel overwhelming. At the same time, I don’t only focus on surviving challenges—I try to turn them into something meaningful. Through PlushieLove, I create handmade plushies that bring comfort and happiness to people. What started as a creative escape during lockdown became a small business that taught me entrepreneurship, communication, branding, and resilience. Running a business while studying showed me that creativity is not just a hobby; it can become something impactful when combined with hard work and persistence. I also think my perspective gives me an advantage. Because of my experiences, I’ve become deeply empathetic and emotionally aware. Losing my brother to addiction changed how I see people and how important connection truly is. It made me realize that everyone is carrying battles others may never notice. That understanding influences how I approach school, business, creativity, and relationships. I try to create work that makes people feel seen, understood, and less alone. Another thing that sets me apart is curiosity. I genuinely love learning, especially about how creativity and technology connect in the music industry. Music business is constantly evolving through digital platforms, marketing strategies, analytics, and innovation, and I’m excited to grow alongside that change. I want to help artists share meaningful stories while building sustainable careers in an industry that often feels overwhelming. This scholarship would help reduce the financial pressure of balancing education, healthcare costs, and business expenses, allowing me to focus more fully on my academic and professional growth. But beyond financial support, receiving this scholarship would represent something important to me personally: proof that resilience, creativity, and determination matter. I know there are many qualified applicants with incredible stories and accomplishments. But what I bring is persistence. I bring adaptability. I bring creativity shaped by real-life challenges. I bring the willingness to continue building a future even on difficult days. And honestly, if I can survive online classes, chronic fatigue, diabetes, running a business, and music industry assignments that make my brain feel like microwaved soup sometimes, I feel pretty prepared to succeed wherever life takes me next.

My “awkward thing” is that I tend to act like I’m fine while my life is very much not giving “fine.” On the outside, I can look calm, organized, and like I have everything under control. On the inside, it’s usually more like a browser with 47 tabs open, three of them frozen, and one playing music I can’t find. A big part of this comes from living with diabetes and chronic fatigue. Neither of them are visible, which creates a weird situation where people assume I’m just tired, distracted, or “being dramatic” when I need a break. So I learned early how to mask it. I got really good at saying “I’m okay” even when I needed to sit down, check my blood sugar, or just mentally reboot for a minute. This led to some pretty awkward moments. Like when I’m in class trying to focus on something important, but my body is like, “Hey, surprise update, we are shutting down performance mode.” Meanwhile, I’m sitting there trying to act normal while also doing internal calculations about energy levels, snacks, and whether I can survive the next hour without looking suspicious. I also have a habit of over-preparing for everything. I don’t just bring a charger, I bring the charger, the backup charger, and the emotional support charger. I don’t just plan for class, I plan for class, emergency fatigue moments, and the possibility that my brain might randomly decide to stop working mid-sentence. It’s not exactly glamorous, but it has definitely made me responsible in a very specific “I have thought of every possible disaster scenario” kind of way. In music business, this shows up in funny ways too. I’ll be analyzing industry trends or working on assignments while also secretly adjusting my energy like I’m managing a limited phone battery. Sometimes I’ll be super engaged in creative work, writing ideas or studying branding strategies for artists, and then suddenly my body hits a wall and I have to pause everything. It’s like my motivation and my energy are not always on speaking terms. For a while, I thought this made me “less capable” than other students. But over time, I realized it actually made me more adaptable. I’ve learned how to manage my time carefully, prioritize what really matters, and keep going even when things don’t feel perfect. I also learned that not everything has to look effortless to be meaningful. Another awkward part of me is that I care a lot. Like, a lot a lot. I get emotionally invested in people, projects, and even small creative ideas. If I’m working on something, I don’t just do it, I overthink it, improve it, rewrite it, and then still wonder if it could be better. It can be exhausting, but it also means I put real intention into what I create and how I treat people. At the end of the day, my “awkwardness” isn’t one single trait. It’s the mix of managing invisible health conditions, overthinking everything, and still trying to show up fully in school and life. It makes me different, sometimes uncomfortable, and occasionally a little chaotic, but it also makes me resourceful, empathetic, and determined in ways I didn’t expect. And honestly, if I can handle chronic fatigue, diabetes, and group projects without completely disappearing from reality, I feel like I can handle most things life throws at me.

If someone had told me a few years ago that my life would include writing a scholarship essay about something this heavy, I probably would’ve laughed and gone back to stressing about homework or which assignment I forgot to submit. Life has a funny way of switching genres without warning, like one minute it’s a regular school sitcom, and the next it turns into a drama you didn’t audition for. My experience with drug addiction didn’t come from my own use, but from someone I loved deeply, my older brother. He was one of those people who could walk into a room and somehow make it feel less tense, like he had a built-in ability to make things lighter. But behind that, he was dealing with something much heavier than most people ever saw. Losing him to an overdose was one of the hardest moments of my life. There’s no “getting used to” something like that. It just becomes part of your story whether you want it or not. After he passed, everything felt different in a way I didn’t know how to explain. People kept saying things like “stay strong,” which is a nice idea, but I honestly didn’t feel like a strong person. I felt more like a phone at 3% battery trying to function normally while ignoring all warning signs. School felt harder. Focus felt harder. Even normal conversations felt weird, like I was partially in another room. One of the biggest challenges I faced was figuring out how to keep going while carrying grief that didn’t have a clear “fix.” There’s no assignment you can turn in to solve it, no checklist that makes it go away. And at the same time, I started noticing how many people around me were quietly affected by similar stories, friends, classmates, even strangers in online communities. It made me realize how common addiction is, but also how rarely it’s talked about in a real, human way. Over time, instead of shutting down completely, I started thinking differently about what I wanted my life to mean. I didn’t want my brother’s story to just be something sad that happened and then got forgotten. I wanted it to become something that pushed me toward helping others. That’s part of why I care so much about music and storytelling through my studies in music business. Music is one of the few things that can make people feel understood when they don’t have the words for what they’re going through. I want to be part of an industry that creates space for honest stories, including the painful ones people usually avoid talking about. I also want to use my experiences to help others feel less alone and more supported. Whether it’s through creative work, advocacy, or simply being someone who listens without judgment, I hope to contribute in a way that makes even a small difference. If one person feels less isolated or more understood because of something I do in the future, that would matter to me. This scholarship would help me continue my education while managing financial stress and focusing on building my future goals. It would give me more space to grow academically and professionally, but also personally, to keep turning something painful into something purposeful. I can’t change what happened to my brother, but I can choose what I do with what I learned from losing him. And if my path forward can help even one person avoid that kind of pain, then I think that would be something worth working toward.

When most people hear “STEM,” they picture someone in a lab coat mixing chemicals while dramatic science music plays in the background. Meanwhile, I’m over here studying music business, surrounded by songwriting notes, marketing strategies, and approximately twelve tabs open about artist branding. But the more I study this field, the more I realize music business is deeply connected to technology, innovation, and the digital world we live in today. As a woman pursuing a career in music business, I want to help shape an industry that constantly evolves through technology and creativity. Streaming platforms, social media algorithms, music production software, digital marketing, analytics, and online branding all play major roles in the music industry. Behind every successful artist is a team using technical knowledge, strategy, and innovation to connect music with audiences worldwide. My education has shown me that creativity and STEM are not opposites, they work together more than people realize. I currently study through Berklee Online while also running my crochet business, PlushieLove. Balancing school, entrepreneurship, and life responsibilities has taught me independence and adaptability. Online learning especially pushed me to become more self-disciplined and resourceful. Nobody warns you that online school requires the ability to ignore distractions while your brain suddenly decides reorganizing your playlists is more important than homework. What motivates me most is curiosity. I love learning how technology changes the way artists create, market, and share music. I enjoy studying how branding influences audiences and how digital platforms allow independent artists to build careers without relying on traditional systems. It excites me to think about how innovation gives creative people more opportunities to share their voices with the world. As a woman in a technology-driven creative field, I also understand the importance of representation. Women are often encouraged to be creative, but not always encouraged to lead in business, technology, or entrepreneurship. I want to help challenge that mindset. I want other young women to see that they belong in spaces involving leadership, innovation, and strategy, even if those spaces don’t look like traditional STEM careers. Living with diabetes and chronic fatigue has also influenced my perspective. Managing health challenges while pursuing higher education taught me resilience and problem-solving skills. There are days where balancing school, health, and responsibilities feels overwhelming, but those experiences pushed me to become more determined. They also taught me empathy, which I believe is an important quality in any field involving leadership and collaboration. This scholarship would help me continue my education with less financial stress and more focus on developing the skills needed for my future career. Pursuing higher education while managing healthcare costs and business expenses can be difficult, especially as a student balancing multiple responsibilities. Financial support would allow me to invest more time into my studies, creative projects, and career development opportunities. More importantly, this scholarship would remind me that women belong in innovative and evolving industries, including those that combine creativity with technology. I want to contribute to a future where women feel empowered to take leadership roles, explore new ideas, and use their talents to create meaningful impact. I may not be building robots or launching rockets, but I am learning how technology, creativity, and entrepreneurship connect people across the world through music. And honestly, that feels pretty powerful too.

I used to think selflessness had to mean doing something huge, like donating a million dollars or rescuing someone from a burning building while dramatic movie music played in the background. But over time, I realized selflessness is usually much smaller and quieter. It’s helping people even when you’re tired, stressed, or busy yourself. It’s choosing kindness when it would honestly be easier to focus only on your own problems. As someone living with diabetes and chronic fatigue, I understand what it feels like to struggle silently. Because of that, I’ve become more aware of the people around me who may also be carrying invisible challenges. I try to embody selflessness by being supportive, patient, and available for others, even in small ways that might not seem important at first. One example is through my crochet business, PlushieLove. While I started it because I love creating cute handmade plushies, I quickly realized the emotional impact handmade gifts can have on people. I’ve had customers tell me they bought one of my plushies for a friend going through a difficult time, a child in the hospital, or someone struggling with anxiety. Sometimes I include little handwritten notes or extra small gifts in orders because I know how much small gestures can brighten someone’s day. To me, selflessness is creating things that make people feel comforted, seen, and cared for. I’ve also tried to support friends and classmates emotionally when they needed someone to listen. In school, it’s easy for everyone to pretend they have their lives together while secretly panicking inside. I’ve had friends come to me feeling overwhelmed about grades, family problems, or personal struggles, and I always try to be the person who listens without judging. Sometimes people don’t need advice; they just need someone who won’t make them feel alone. Even when I’m exhausted myself, I try to show up for the people I care about because I know how meaningful that support can be. One moment that really stayed with me happened online in a student group chat. A classmate was struggling with assignments and felt embarrassed asking questions because they thought everyone else understood the material already. I remembered how isolating that feeling can be, especially in online learning, so I spent time helping them understand the assignment step by step. We ended up talking for hours about school, stress, and creative goals. Later, they thanked me for making them feel less “stupid.” That honestly made me sad because nobody deserves to feel that way while learning. It reminded me that kindness can completely change someone’s confidence. Selflessness has also influenced my future goals. I want to build a career in music business and creativity where I can help artists feel supported and understood instead of pressured to fit impossible expectations. I know how powerful art can be during difficult times, and I hope to create spaces where people feel connected through music and creativity. I’m definitely not perfect. There are days where I’m stressed, overwhelmed, or running on pure caffeine and determination. But I still try to treat people with empathy because you never really know what someone else is going through. At the end of the day, I think selflessness is less about grand heroic moments and more about consistently choosing kindness. And honestly, the world could probably use a little more of that.

Most people hear “music business” and immediately think I spend my days dramatically staring out windows like I’m in a sad music video. In reality, studying music business is a weird mix of creativity, strategy, technology, marketing, and occasionally questioning why audio software crashes right before deadlines. But that’s exactly why I chose it. Music has always felt bigger to me than entertainment. It’s connection, storytelling, and community all rolled into one—and I want to build a future helping artists bring their creativity into the world. I chose to further my education in music business because I realized how much work happens behind the scenes of the music people love. Artists don’t just magically wake up famous after posting one TikTok at 2 a.m. There are managers, branding strategies, marketing plans, contracts, streaming platforms, and entire teams making things happen. The industry combines creativity with STEAM skills like technology, digital media, analytics, entrepreneurship, and communication. It’s basically the Avengers of different skill sets. As a Berklee Online student, I’ve learned that music business is not only about making art—it’s about understanding how innovation shapes the industry. Streaming platforms, social media algorithms, music production software, and online branding all require technical and strategic thinking. I love that the field allows me to combine creativity with problem-solving. One day I’m studying artist management, and the next I’m learning how branding and audience engagement work online. It keeps my brain busy in the best way possible. My passion for creativity also extends beyond music. I run a small crochet business called PlushieLove where I create handmade plushies and market them online. Running my own business taught me real-world lessons about branding, customer engagement, and entrepreneurship. It also showed me how creative industries depend on both artistic talent and practical business knowledge. Honestly, owning a small business feels like being the CEO, customer service department, marketing team, and emotional support employee all at once. One reason I feel so connected to music business is because music has helped me through difficult moments in my life, especially while managing diabetes and chronic fatigue. Music creates comfort and understanding in ways that words alone sometimes cannot. I want to help create spaces where artists can share stories that make people feel less alone, the same way music has done for me. This scholarship would have a huge impact on my educational journey. Pursuing higher education while balancing healthcare costs, business expenses, and daily responsibilities can feel overwhelming. Additional financial support would help reduce stress and allow me to focus more on my studies, creative projects, and future career goals. It would also help me continue developing the technical and professional skills needed to succeed in a constantly evolving industry. More importantly, this scholarship would bring me closer to building a future where I can combine creativity, entrepreneurship, and innovation. I hope to work in spaces that support artists, promote meaningful storytelling, and help creative people turn their passions into sustainable careers. I know music business may not look like a traditional STEAM field at first glance, but technology and innovation shape nearly every part of it. Behind every song people love is strategy, creativity, and a lot of work most listeners never see. And honestly, if I can survive both online classes and trying to understand music industry contracts without my brain exploding, I feel pretty prepared for the future.

Living with diabetes and chronic fatigue is kind of like having two very annoying roommates living inside my body. One of them constantly checks my blood sugar like an overprotective manager, and the other randomly steals all my energy for absolutely no reason. Together, they’ve made life more complicated, but they’ve also shaped who I am in ways I never expected. For a long time, I thought disabilities had to “look visible” to count. I didn’t use a wheelchair or crutches, so I felt guilty sometimes calling my struggles real. But invisible conditions can still affect every part of a person’s life. Diabetes and chronic fatigue impact how I learn, work, socialize, and even plan my future. There are days where I feel motivated and productive, and other days where my body suddenly feels like an old phone battery stuck at 2%. School has definitely been challenging at times. Chronic fatigue makes it difficult to focus for long periods, especially during stressful weeks or late-night assignments. Sometimes I’ll sit down ready to study, and my brain just decides to buffer like bad Wi-Fi. Diabetes adds another layer to that. Managing blood sugar while balancing classes, deadlines, and life responsibilities can feel overwhelming. There have been moments where I felt frustrated watching other students seem to function effortlessly while I needed twice the energy just to keep up. But these challenges have also changed me in positive ways. Living with chronic conditions taught me resilience earlier than most people my age. I’ve learned how to adapt, plan ahead, and keep going even when things are difficult. It also taught me patience with myself. I used to think success meant pushing through exhaustion no matter what, but now I understand that taking care of my health is part of succeeding, not a weakness. As a Berklee Online student studying music while running my crochet business, PlushieLove, I’ve had to become creative with how I manage my time and energy. Online learning has helped me continue pursuing my education while allowing flexibility on harder health days. It’s shown me that there isn’t only one “correct” path to success. Sometimes success looks like acing a project. Other times it looks like simply getting through the day without letting your health completely destroy your plans. My experiences also influenced what I hope to accomplish in the future. I want to build a career centered around creativity, connection, and honesty. Whether through music, songwriting, or my handmade creations, I want people to feel understood and less alone. Living with invisible conditions taught me how important empathy is because you never truly know what someone else is carrying behind the scenes. I also hope to show other students with chronic illnesses or disabilities that they are still capable of achieving their goals, even if their journey looks different. Society often celebrates people who never slow down, but I’ve learned there’s strength in adapting and continuing forward anyway. While diabetes and chronic fatigue have made life harder, they’ve also made me more compassionate, determined, and self-aware. They taught me that success is not about being perfect or endlessly productive. It’s about continuing to grow despite obstacles. And honestly, if I can survive school while my body acts like a malfunctioning Sims character half the time, I feel pretty confident about handling whatever comes next.

If there’s one thing diabetes has taught me, it’s that my pancreas apparently decided to quit its job early and leave me to deal with the consequences. While most students worry about exams, deadlines, and awkward group projects, I also have to think about blood sugar levels, insulin, doctor appointments, and whether the cafeteria food is about to personally betray me. It’s like playing a survival game every single minute while everyone else is on normal mode. Living with diabetes has impacted both my education and daily life in ways people don’t always see. There are days where my blood sugar randomly decides to act like a dramatic reality TV contestant. If it’s too high, I feel exhausted and unfocused. If it’s too low, suddenly I’m shaky, dizzy, and trying to solve math problems while feeling like a potato with anxiety. It can make concentrating in class difficult, especially during long study sessions or stressful weeks. There have been moments where I wanted to be productive, creative, and motivated, but my body basically said, “Absolutely not today.” At first, I hated feeling different from everyone else. In school, you already feel awkward enough trying to survive presentations, social situations, and figuring out what you’re doing with your life. Adding diabetes on top of that felt unfair sometimes. I’d have to stop what I was doing to check my blood sugar or carry snacks everywhere “just in case.” Nothing humbles you faster than realizing your backpack has more medical supplies than actual school supplies. But over time, diabetes also taught me responsibility and resilience. Managing a chronic condition means constantly planning ahead, adapting, and learning how to advocate for yourself. I became more disciplined because I had to. I learned how to balance school, health, and personal goals even when things became overwhelming. Those skills now help me as a Berklee College of Music student studying music while also running my crochet business, PlushieLove. Pursuing higher education while managing diabetes comes with financial challenges too. Medical supplies, insulin, doctor visits, and technology for managing my condition are expensive. Sometimes it feels like diabetes sends me an invoice every five business days just for existing. Additional scholarship funds would help relieve some of that pressure, allowing me to focus more on my education and career goals instead of constantly worrying about expenses. As a creative student, I want to continue building a future in music and entrepreneurship. I’m passionate about songwriting, creativity, and creating things that make people feel connected, whether through music or handmade art. However, balancing academics, business expenses, and healthcare costs can feel overwhelming at times. This scholarship would help me continue my education with less financial stress and more freedom to invest in my future. Most importantly, diabetes has taught me empathy. Living with an invisible condition showed me that everyone is fighting battles other people may not notice. It taught me patience, adaptability, and how to keep moving forward even on difficult days. While diabetes has definitely complicated my journey, it has also made me stronger, more independent, and more determined to succeed. I may not have chosen this challenge, but it has shaped me into someone who knows how to persevere. And honestly, if I can survive both diabetes and group projects, I feel like I can survive almost anything.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned as an online student, it’s that my laptop has basically become my second personality. At this point, I spend so much time online that my Wi-Fi router probably knows more about my academic life than some of my relatives. But honestly, online platforms and digital tools have completely changed the way I learn, especially as a Berklee Online student studying music business and building my own crochet business, PlushieLove, at the same time. One of the biggest resources I use is YouTube. I know people joke about learning everything from YouTube, but it’s actually true. I’ve learned music production tips, songwriting techniques, business advice, and even crochet methods from creators who explain things in ways that feel human instead of sounding like a robot reading a textbook out loud. Sometimes I’ll watch a Berklee lecture, feel confused for five minutes, and immediately run to YouTube like it’s an academic emergency room. Suddenly someone with LED lights in their bedroom studio explains the exact same concept, and my brain finally goes, “Ohhhh, THAT’S what they meant.” As a music student, I also use platforms like Spotify and Genius in ways that probably sound dramatic but are genuinely helpful. I analyze lyrics, production styles, and storytelling techniques from artists I admire. Studying music through real songs makes learning feel exciting instead of just theoretical. It’s one thing to read about emotional storytelling in songwriting, but it’s another thing to hear how artists create connection through lyrics, melodies, and production choices. It helps me better understand how music can make people feel seen. Berklee Online itself has also taught me how to become more independent and disciplined. Online learning sounds easy until you realize nobody is standing over your shoulder reminding you to stop scrolling on your phone and finish your assignments. The platform allows me to revisit lectures, participate in discussions, and learn at my own pace, which has helped me absorb information more effectively. Sometimes I replay lectures multiple times until concepts finally click. It’s kind of like rewatching a movie because you missed an important plot twist while grabbing snacks. For my crochet business, I use Pinterest, Instagram, and Etsy not just for inspiration, but to understand branding, customer engagement, and entrepreneurship. Watching how small creators market their products has taught me real-world business skills that go beyond the classroom. I’ve learned how presentation, communication, and creativity all work together to build a brand people connect with emotionally. Another resource I constantly use is online communities. Whether it’s Discord servers, Reddit discussions, or student group chats, these spaces remind me that learning doesn’t have to happen alone. Sometimes another student explains something better in one random message than an entire textbook chapter. Online communities also help me feel less isolated as a student balancing academics, creativity, and life stress at the same time. Technology has helped me apply my knowledge in practical ways instead of just memorizing information for a grade. Through online tools, I’ve improved my songwriting, strengthened my business skills, and learned how to connect creativity with real opportunities. More importantly, online learning has shown me that education doesn’t only happen inside classrooms. Sometimes it happens through late-night research spirals, YouTube tutorials, and random moments where everything suddenly makes sense after struggling for hours. And honestly, those moments feel pretty rewarding.

If my life had a soundtrack, Olivia Rodrigo would probably be screaming in the background while I ran around trying to survive school, adulthood, relationships, and the five hundred tabs open in my brain at all times. One lyric that really sticks with me is from “ballad of a homeschooled girl” when she says, “I’m on the outside of the greatest inside joke.” Honestly? That line feels like someone secretly read my diary while I was asleep. Growing up, I always felt slightly out of place, like everybody else got the instructions for life except me. You know when you walk into a classroom and everyone somehow already has friends, inside jokes, and knows where to sit, while you’re standing there holding your backpack like a confused NPC in a video game? Yeah. That was me. Even now, I still get nervous meeting new people because I overthink everything. I’ll replay conversations in my head like a Netflix documentary called “Top 10 Embarrassing Things I Shouldn’t Have Said.” As a Berklee Online student, I’m super excited to travel to Boston soon, but I’m also terrified. I’m going to a place filled with talented musicians and creative people, and part of me is excited because music feels like home. But another part of me keeps wondering if I’ll fit in or if everyone else already knows exactly who they are while I’m still trying to figure it out. Olivia’s lyrics capture that awkward stage of life where you’re growing, but it feels messy instead of inspirational. Movies make self-discovery look magical. In reality, it’s more like accidentally sending a voice message when you meant to text. Another lyric that hits me hard is from “making the bed”: “I got the things I wanted, it’s just not what I imagined.” That line reminds me of how growing up can feel both exciting and disappointing at the same time. I’ve worked hard for opportunities I once dreamed about. I have my crochet business, PlushieLove, where I create cute handmade plushies that make people smile. I’m studying music, chasing creative goals, and trying to build a future for myself. Younger me would think that’s amazing. But sometimes success also comes with anxiety, pressure, and loneliness nobody talks about. There are moments where I feel scared about the future, especially because my boyfriend lives far away in Ecuador, and life feels uncertain sometimes. I try to stay positive, but there are days where my brain acts like a dramatic reality show narrator: “Will she survive adulthood? Tune in next week.” Olivia Rodrigo’s music makes me feel less weird for having those thoughts. Her songs don’t pretend life is perfect. They admit that growing up is confusing, emotional, and occasionally embarrassing. What I love most about Olivia’s lyrics is that they make vulnerability feel normal. They remind me that being emotional doesn’t make me weak; it makes me human. My journey hasn’t been perfect or neatly organized, but it’s real. I’m learning that triumph isn’t becoming fearless. It’s continuing forward even while scared. And honestly, if Olivia Rodrigo can turn awkward feelings into award-winning songs, maybe my awkwardness can turn into something meaningful too.

If I could start a business with my sibling Juan, it would 100% be PlushieLove, no question. First of all, Juan had that chaotic creative energy that somehow turned random ideas into something actually cool, and I’m more of the “wait… but does this make sense?” person. So together, we’d be like the perfect duo, him dreaming up crazy plushie designs at 2 a.m., and me trying to organize everything so we don’t accidentally sell a unicorn with three eyes (okay but that might actually sell). PlushieLove wouldn’t just be a normal business where you buy cute things and leave. It would feel like a whole vibe. We’d design plushies with personalities, little backstories, maybe even tiny accessories depending on their “mood.” Juan would definitely insist on giving every plushie a dramatic name and story, like “Luna the emotionally complex frog” or something. And honestly? People would love it. The reason I’d want to do this with him is because it wouldn’t just be about making money, it would be about creating something fun together, something that makes people smile. Juan always had that way of making things feel lighter, even when everything else was stressful, and I think PlushieLove would reflect that energy. It’d be our little world where creativity wins and nothing has to be perfect to be loved. Also, I just know we’d argue over the dumbest things, like colors or designs, but in a funny way. And at the end of the day, seeing someone buy a plushie we made together? That would feel like the biggest win ever. So yeah, PlushieLove wouldn’t just be a business. It’d be us, turned into something soft, chaotic, and kind of magical.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

The weird thing about depression is that sometimes everything on the outside looks normal, but on the inside your brain feels like it forgot how to press the “happy” button.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

And that heart is what is driving me to pursue a Master’s degree in Music Business. I’ve been hiding for so long, everyone in every job told me I couldn’t do anything because “I don’t understand that I’m a girl”. The music industry is highly competitive, giving us (transgender people) limited opportunities. Rejection and criticism are common, and it takes a strong sense of self-belief and perseverance to stay motivated in the face of long and hard obstacles. Despite the challenges, being a student in the music industry has been the best learning experience in my life. Growing up in a place where being trans 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 transgender 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 LGBTQ+ community, 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.

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.

Capturing those amazing moments on every stage, feeling the energy through the crowd… It is literally magic. Traveling around the world with those crazy artists has opened my eyes to the richness of different cultures. When I first traveled outside of Puerto Rico, I was amazed by the diversity of people and their perspectives. It was like stepping into a new world with every trip. Each place I visited taught me something new about life and myself. For example, when I traveled to New York City, I saw firsthand how the music industry operates on a larger scale. The hustle and bustle of the city, the passion of street performers, and the grand concerts at Madison Square Garden showed me the potential of what I could achieve. It made me realize that my dreams were not out of reach, they were just waiting for me to chase them. Growing up in a place where dreams often felt out of reach, music was my escape.

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, like High School Musical. 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 show, High School Musical, the show behind every single song I listened to. And let me tell you something, their 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.
