Bio

Hello! My name is Valeria Estrella. I am 18 and a senior at Schurr High School, in Montebello. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, where I grew up surrounded by a loving family that enjoys traveling and going on road trips. I am the oldest of three siblings. My hobbies include listening to music, color guard, baking, writing, reading, and dancing. I am the editor-in-chief of my school yearbook, historian of a mental health advocacy club, and captain of my school's intramural color guard team. I am interested in pursuing a career in Social Sciences as a Psychology major to learn more about the inner workings of the human mind. I am passionate about helping those in need, and I intend to do so by using my knowledge for the better well-being of others and to improve people's way of living. I care tremendously about my education and strive to improve in various areas even after high school. I am always willing to try new things and look forward to expanding my social circle in college.
