Carmen Flores

I am an eighteen year old incoming college freshman at San Jose State University. I'm first generation Mexican-American, and an aspiring artist hoping to go into the field of Creative Directing. Throughout high school I managed to be an honors student with multiple AP classes, participate in multiple school clubs, and was the captain of my school's girls lacrosse team. During the summer before my senior year, I took a pre-college two week course at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. On top of managing my academic life, I've maintained a job since I was sixteen years old for the purpose of funding myself without help from my parents, as well as save a considerable amount for college.
