I am a high-achieving Brandeis graduate, where I studied with a full merit scholarship and majored in International & Global Studies (IGS) and Latin American & Latinx Studies (LALS) with minors in Politics and Hispanic Studies. During college, I pursued several independent research projects across Latin America and was very active as a leader in the LALS department and a volunteer in the Waltham community. I discovered a deep passion for pursuing social change with an intersectional and just approach. I also worked part-time as an online educator teaching SAT English prep, IELTS and TOEFL prep, and English Fundamentals at Zinkerz. I continued taking on new responsibilities at Zinkerz, first working as a summer intern, then taking on a content writing and copyediting role, followed by a full-time position as a college counselor in a two-person department. Working in a dynamic, fast-paced start-up environment sharpened my skills in creativity, flexibility, organization, communication, teamwork, and precision. With my combined interests in education, social justice, writing, community service, and research, I hope to pursue more opportunities with organizations and grassroots efforts that reflect these values, and that are seeking to promote real, sustainable, and radical change, especially in vulnerable or underserved communities.
