As a third-year Managerial Economics student and proud first-generation college student, I am working toward earning my degree with hopes of pursuing a Master of Business Administration in the future. My greatest goal is to become the first in my family to build a secure and stable source of income, creating opportunities not just for myself, but for generations to come. My family’s support is what drives me to give back to them while honoring the sacrifices they’ve made to help me reach this point. I am determined to grow both academically and personally. I secured an internship abroad for the summer of 2026 as a way to further my education and life experience. Balancing school, work, and other responsibilities hasn’t been easy, but each challenge I face I use as a learning experience. Outside of academics, I enjoy nature, culinary arts, and sewing, these creative outlets help me keep grounded and resilient. With your support, I can continue building a better future for myself and future generations.
