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!

Favorite Saint Mary's Memory
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.
My Next Chapter
My next chapter in life after college is to pursue a career in the software engineering industry, specifically in video game development. I'm also hoping to travel to many countries and experience different cultures.

Favorite Saint Mary's Memory
