I am part of the Varsity Girls Lacrosse Team as well as the National Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society, Beta Club, Leo Club, World Language Club, and Art Honor Society.

As you can see I love playing lacrosse, but I also love being involved with my culture. As a Latina, it's in my blood to adore the music and dances this world has. I enjoy going to quinces on the weekends with my family and having a good time. In the next few years to come, I plan on studying architecture. I have a huge love for maths, such as calculus, and have a strong passion for art, specifically sculpture, therefore knowing this is the right career path for me!
