I’m a third-year student at the University of California, Los Angeles. Majoring in Business Economics and planning to pursue an accounting minor. I am actively exploring my interests in finance, investment banking, real estate, and accounting. Growing up in South Central Los Angeles, I realized the significance of representation within higher education and that there weren’t many people from my community who were pursuing a career in business. These experiences inspired me to pursue a business career because I want to pave the way for the next generation of Latinos and break the cycles of dropping out of school within my lineage. I’m an advocate for underrepresented communities and will always give back to my city in one way or another. My community is one of the main driving forces behind my success. I look forward to continuing to grow with the current organizations that I am affiliated with.
