Biography
After graduating from UW-L in December 2013, I plan to attend grad school and enroll in a PhD. program that focuses in at-risk youth and/or family issues. My lifelong goal is to start a business with my best friend that benefits children and parents. My extracurricular involvement includes being the Latin American Student Organization (LASO) Secretary and Pre College Tutoring. I love to leisure read, listen to music, spend time with friends and family, and I'm always excited to experiences new things.
