About Me
My College Journey
I was born and raised in Tucson. I had always dreamed of becoming a WIldcat and being the first in my family to attend and graduate college.

​
As a first-generation college student, I have maintained a strong motivation to graduate from the Eller College of Management with a degree in Accounting.

Education
What I’ve Learned and Where I've Learned it
University of Arizona
I am currently at the University of Arizona pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in accounting. I have taken many accounting courses that will enable me to be successful outside of graduation. Along with general education courses, that have educated me in broader subjects like paleontology and greek mythology.
Some of the work that I have done can be found in Portfolium.
August 2013 - May 2017
Sunnyside High School
I earned a high school diploma while remaining in the top 3% of my cohort with a 3.9 G.P.A. I took advanced placement courses as well as basic level business courses that allowed me to strengthen my proficiency with Microsoft applications. I was involved in extracurricular activities like being President of the Future Business Leaders of America and Vice President of our Student Wellness Advocacy Team.
