I am currently a student at Arizona State University working toward a career as a Physician Assistant. My journey has not been easy, and at this moment, I am facing financial barriers that have made it difficult to complete my final year. Despite this, I have not lost sight of my goal. I am determined to continue my education and build a future where I can make a difference in people’s lives. Growing up, I learned the value of hard work, perseverance, and giving back. Those values continue to guide me today. Outside of school, I run 3Ks for fun as a way to clear my mind and stay grounded during challenging times. Running has become a reminder that even when things feel difficult, I can keep moving forward one step at a time. I also create handmade piñatas, not just as a side income, but as a way to give back to my community. I donate them to low-income families so they can celebrate special moments with their children. Being able to bring joy to others, even in small ways, is something that means a lot to me and reflects the kind of person I strive to be. Becoming a Physician Assistant is more than just a career goal it represents stability, purpose, and the opportunity to help others during some of their most vulnerable moments. With the right support, I know I can overcome my current challenges and continue building a future centered on compassion, service, and resilience.
