Words to live by: “Let all that you do be in love.”
Community Involvement: “Through the Peer Counselor Program, I have had the opportunity to be more involved at my school and make a difference within the school’s culture. I want to serve, support, and educate others, in addition to being more active with my Latinx roots.”
Why is Community Involvement important? “Community involvement is very important to me because it is an opportunity to give back. Additionally helping others and getting involved is life changing. The act of giving back is extremely fulfilling, and important to do because it also uplifts the community in general.”

College of choice: “My college of choice would be Colorado State University because it is my hometown university and has been a dream of mine. However, other colleges, I would love to get into would be University of Northern Colorado and University of Colorado Denver.”
