FinalistBio
As a first-generation Mexican-American student from Chicago, my journey has evolved from transforming creative passion into a deep dedication to human healing. Building on my Bachelor of Arts in Music and minor in Psychology, I am pursuing a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with the goal of becoming a professional Clinical Therapist. My background in the arts instilled deep discipline in me, while my own past navigation of mental health obstacles forged the profound empathy and resilience needed to connect with others. Rooted in the firm belief that everyone can benefit from therapy, I am dedicated to helping clients understand their narratives, overcome psychological hurdles, and find their unique paths to genuine healing.
