Proudest Moment: Leading a project for my RSO, the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, to invite first generation and low-income students predominantly from Eastern Washington to visit UW. Seeing their faces while they interacted with students and professional engineers made all the work to get a Mary Gates Leadership Scholarship worth it.

From joining Husky Marching Band and leading the Alto Sax section to being an officer (and eventually President) for three years in SHPE, I am lucky that I was able to meet so many amazing individuals through my leadership experiences. I enjoyed studying abroad in Rome and jamming in jazz combos with my Honors peers, and hope to continue these experiences past graduation. While I am entering the workforce as a consultant this summer, I will take my college experiences with me as I aim to give back to my communities whether that may be in music, my heritage, or experiences abroad.
