I would say some of my greatest supports during my academic year would have to be:
Rui Guo
Andras Margitay-Becht
Navid Sabbaghi
Calvin Monroe
My parents also supported me through thick and thin and I would never have been able to get as far as I have without them.

Favorite Saint Mary's Memory
My favorite memories include spending times with my friends whether that was messing around and making apps for the school or using a classroom at night for video games or studying.
Another specific memory would be running up the the cross at midnight in the rain with my friends. One of the most enlightening experiences of my life.
My Next Chapter
I will be Interning as a Single-Player Level Design Intern at Sledgehammer Games. I am extremely excited for this opportunity and looking forward to pursuing a career in Game Design and Software Engineering.

Concentrate on what you want to say to yourself and your friends. Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness. You say what you want to say when you don't care who's listening.

Ciudad De México, MéxicoMy Greatest Supporters
My parents Marcos and Cecilia for putting me through college and my sister Sofía for staying up doing homework with me. Ula and Eleazar for being the best friends I could have ever asked for. Taki, my puppy, who watched me struggle through finals and stayed by my side. I'm thankful for professors András Margitay-Becht and Jim Sauerberg for always being supportive and advising me professionally.
Favorite Saint Mary's Memory
My favorite Saint Mary's moments were spent in the back of Oliver Hall making sandwiches for elementary schools every year on World Kindness Day with Ula, Henna and Café Louis' manager Fernando. Waking up at 5am to make PB&J's never sounded fun, but we made the most of it!
My Next Chapter
I will be joining KPMG full-time at their Risk Advisory practice in San Francisco. I am excited to begin my career and learn more about the business world!

Spending time with friends, especially when we all ran up to the Cross at midnight during heavy rain. Not the smartest decision, but one of the funniest.

Thank you Mom and Dad for working as hard as you do to allow me the opportunity to be here and to grow. Thank you to my two brothers, for pushing me and for paving the way for me to reach new heights. Thank you El and Joanne for all the love and support you have brought to our family. Thank you Cassy for believing in me when I didn't. To my entire family, thank you and I hope I made you proud!
Favorite Saint Mary's Memory
I don't have a single favorite memory during my time at Saint Mary's. However, every friendship and connection I have made with other students, faculty, staff and other community leaders have helped me grow as an individual. These four years weren't always easy. I had to learn to love myself again and that I have to be my biggest fan. To every person that had my back and lifted me up I thank you.
My Next Chapter
I am moving back to my hometown in Sacramento to be close to my growing family and to strengthen the bonds I have there. In terms of my future career, I plan to pursue my interests in sustainability, technology and education. I want to continue to be creative and to ultimately give back to the community that raised me. I am not sure what the next chapter in my life is, but I know I can be great!
