My Greatest Supporters

My greatest supporters have been my mom and my best friend, Maria. My mom has supported me through my college experience and has made sure that I have had everything I needed in order to graduate on time. As for Maria, she has been my sounding board and my personal cheerleader since we first met in freshman year. I could not have accomplished all that I have without these two amazing women.

My Greatest Supporters

My greatest supporters are my family, friends, and professors. They have always encouraged me to pursue new opportunities such as classes and jobs while being my shoulder to lean on when things were challenging.

Favorite Saint Mary's Memory

My favorite memories at SMC have been getting lunch or dinner with my roommates and friends. I also loved going on late night runs to Safeway with @ChristelleJara to bake cookies and brownies or even ten different desserts.

My Greatest Supporters

My greatest supporters during my experience at SMC were my family, my dance family, my study group, and my assumption squad. They have supported me through everything!

Favorite Saint Mary's Memory

My favorite memory would have to be all the nights my assumption friends hiked up to the cross to listen to music and sing at the top of our lungs. I also cannot forgot all the long nights that my study group would spend in Dante doing homework and preparing for our tests. What got us through those long nights had to be chipotle, golden palace, Starbucks, boba.

My Next Chapter

I am planning on finding a job in medicine, health care, or research to further my knowledge of Biology. I will hopefully go to grad school or attend PA school in the future. I want to also continue my passion for dance and will hope to continue dancing alongside my future job.

My Greatest Supporters

My mother, father, and sister have been by my side through good times and bad, and I can't ever repay them for all the things they've done for me. They've always been my best supporters, and I do this all of them.

Favorite Saint Mary's Memory

There are too many memories to call my favorite, but many of them stemmed from spontaneous plans. Study sessions ended up being the most memorable times, eating at Oliver Hall ended up having heart-to-heart conversations, lazy Mondays ended up feeling like the most exciting days I've ever had.

My Next Chapter

Going to medical school is the main plan to study and take a path towards being a surgeon. It's always been my dream to help others in need.
