About Me: I am a proud first-generation Latino student! I did my Bachelor's here at EIU. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design with a minor in Marketing and Digital Media. I came back to get my Master's in Science for College Student Affairs, where I plan to work in DEI, to help Â鶹´«Ã½ of marginalized groups get the resources and support they need. As well as working with specifically with our Latino student population and Â鶹´«Ã½ under DACA and or Undocumented. I've also been involved in various RSOs on campus throughout the years, such as: Alpha Psi Lambda National, Inc., LASO, Grupo Fe-Newman Center, DAC, and The Dreamteam.
Advice: Find your community, whether that is Greek Life, Athletics, Social Clubs, Multicultural, Community Service, anything! Find your support group and make memories!
Favorite Spot on Campus: Doudna Fine Arts!
