The picture in my header is of my home town, Bloomington, CA. Which isn’t actually a town but a census designated place. We lack incorporation or any sort of municipal government, but so many people live in such close proximity that we are recognized by name. No municipal government means no recreation like youth centers or sport teams, unsafe and unkept parks, and underfunded libraries and schools. On top of that, a majority of families are low income. Mix that in with increasing warehouse development, and you get an underserved community that's looked down upon even by some of its own residents. It is within that community that I have met the most resilient, innovative, and determined people. If given the right opportunities, they would thrive beyond measure.It is for this reason that everything I do is based on the belief that people have limitless potential, and it is up to every one of us to help others strive towards it. Through our own example and through the results of our efforts. Every one of us has the ability to multiply our gifts and benefit others. I aim to use my education and career to continuously seize opportunities and develop my skills in order to consistently give back to those preceding. I am focused on creating empowering systems and communities, through existing groups such as Society of Hispanic Engineers and First Generation Career Advisory Board while also working to create new programs such as a multicultural coalition in order to unify and strengthen all student diversity groups.I just happen to be a junior studying Computer Science student at The University of Notre Dame.
