After starting my first business at age nine, I discovered my passion for numbers and entrepreneurship. Following that drive, I am currently pursuing a degree in accounting at the McCombs School of Business at UT Austin. My goal is to apply my education and the connections I build to relaunch and grow my business, with a focus on creating sustainable growth.In addition to my studies, I serve as the Human Resources Director for the Association of Latino Professionals For America (ALPFA) at UT Austin. This role has helped me hone my professional communication and problem-solving skills, allowing me to effectively engage with both professionals and peers. Through this experience, I have strengthened my ability to collaborate and lead a team.Looking ahead, I am excited to continue my journey in accounting and eventually sit for the CPA exam.
