About

I am currently a Junior in high school. I attend Gila Ridge High School in Yuma, Arizona.

Since kindergarten, I’ve always strived to be a high achiever and pursue higher education. Throughout my years in elementary, middle school, and high school, I’ve developed and applied key characteristics such as communication, responsibility, integrity, dedication, and discipline, along with the skills of communication, teamwork, leadership, and time management when I am working with others, accomplishing individual goals, and learning to become a better version of myself as each day passes.

What I want is to be able to look back on my life when I age, and be proud. I want to be able to rejoice in my memories. I want to know that I gave back to my loved ones, to my community, and to those that mentored me, supported me, and guided me on my journey. I want to know I’ve served with purpose, and that I’ve dedicated time and effort towards helping others. I want to know that I’ve made my loved ones, and myself, proud. Every day, I am working towards that dream.
