WinnerBio
Hello! My name is Selena Villafuerte and I am a current incoming first year undergraduate at the University of California - Irvine in Chemistry. During these months, I am still becoming familiar with college and all of the new socioemotional changes as well. Some of my greatest accomplishments have been, but are not limited to, swimming, language, and leadership. I have been a high school D2 CIF qualifier for two years and my high school team's Varsity Girl’s Team Captain, have received the California State Seal of Biliteracy, and was my high school’s AP Spanish Tutoring Club President. Some of my favorite hobbies are reading classical literature, sketching/painting, and helping my mother out with her new small business. However, my biggest aspiration is to be able to give back to my Hispanic community in an area that I have seen my father be discriminated against. In being ethnically discriminated against for treatment, I want to be able to change healthcare for those who don’t have a fortune to spend on treatments and for those who have been wronged by their race, gender, sexuality, and so much more.
