I’m a first-generation college student studying Finance & Economics at DePaul University. My Hispanic upbringing has led me to be an ambitious and hardworking individual to achieve my American Dream. I look forward to being immersed in the business world. I decided upon Finance as my desired study since it would equip me with the knowledge and experience necessary to achieve financial literacy. With this critical skill, I can pay it forward to my community which granted me the opportunities and insights that led to my successFavorite Quote: “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”
