Biography:
I was a first generation college student and was fortunate enough to have graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology in 2014. I’m currently working as a research assistant in a pharmacology lab, and also in the process of applying to physical therapy school. Although my parents were not able to attain a higher education, they immigrated from Mexico in their twenties to provide their children with the opportunity they didn’t have. I am the youngest of six siblings, all of which who attended South San HS.
