I started my own business at 17 years old. It was a small Instagram page of handmade jewelry. I had like 50 clients and I raised over 500 dollars. Although it was a small startup, it influenced my passion for entrepreneurship, which led me to open my current business Elotes 1982 Co. I've been my own boss since January 2023 and it has taught me time management skills, customer service, and project management. During the summer 2023 I joined the New Student Orientation Office at The University of Texas at El Paso and became an Orientation Leader, overseeing the PIE Program for International Students. During fall semester 2023 I joined the American Marketing Association and developed a passion for marketing and mentorship. Spring semester 2024, I joined International Business Fraternity Delta Sigma Pi and got initiated at Flagstaff, Arizona. Summer 2024, I came back to the New Student Orientation Office, this time overseeing the Woody L. Hunt College of Business and created an extensive network inside my own college community. I am currently the Vice President of Alumni Relations at Delta Sigma Pi. I'm also completing the ESE Leadership Academy and Communication Committee Chair for AMA.
