About
As a high school student, I was involved in Track and Field, Cross Country, Key Club, Yearbook Club, and Peer-leading. Also, I have been involved in a church volunteering over the years in the Spanish Ministry, Youth Ministry, and Children's Ministry. After I graduated, I went to Atlanta Leadership College for two years which is a discipleship program where they equip students to be their best in their futures academically, mentally, personally, and spiritually. Currently, I am studying at Liberty University for Church Ministry and a minor in Family and Child Development. There I am a Peer Mentor for the Center of Multicultural Enrichment and a Student Leadership Coach for students who live on campus.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
After I graduate from Liberty University, I hope to gain a full-time job at a church working in the Children's Ministry. I do see myself working there for a few years paying off college loans and planning my future dreams. I want to begin an organization where helps families and children in the United States. I may be Colombian-American, but I have been raised with a huge heart for this country's needs in family homes. I want to be able to hire missionaries, psychologists, therapists, teachers, tutors, and volunteers that will be able to equip, love, and fellowship children to improve their lives. I want the organization to open a daycare. I want to write books that will help parents with parenting and children's books that will help them mature and grow. I want to find people who can share this dream with me and work together to make this business successful.
- Graduate school interests
I have considered going grad school because Liberty University offers a course specifically for Children's Ministry. However, I am undecided on whether I will attend grad school. If I do, I hope to gain a job on staff there at Liberty because they offer full tuition in Grad School for staff members.
