👋 Hi, I’m Mia!
📚 I am on track to graduate with my High-School Diploma & AA in Criminal Justice May 2025.
📚 I am a first-generation Mexican American student, working to maintain a 4.44 HS GPA & 4.00 college GPA, while balancing dual enrollment, competitive athletics, and part-time employment as a legal assistant.
🎀 As a leader on my competitive cheer team and through various community service initiatives, I have developed strong leadership skills that I apply in my academic and personal life. With over 11 years of experience in All-Star competitive cheer at the highest levels, I have honed my skills in teamwork and perseverance.
♻️ Committed to giving back to my community, I have actively participated in service projects, including the Environmental Stewardship Project, helping me to understand the intersection of law, justice, and social responsibility.
⚖️ My interests lie in research, advocacy, and understanding justice in our legal system. My long-term career goal is to become an attorney specializing in Personal Injury law and Congressional Investigation Law
