About

I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of New Mexico finishing my freshman year, and am in a four-year nursing program to receive my bachelor's degree in nursing. My first semester I finished with a 3.53 GPA, and am still maintaining that GPA with almost all A's. I graduated high school from Sandia High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 2020 during COVID-19, also having a GPA of 3.0 or higher throughout my high school years.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I intend on becoming an RN in the nursing field, one day also creating my own foundation for adolescents with Autism who come out of high school wanting to become more independent, and successful within their own skills and goals. All of my dreams and goals are inspired from my brother, whom has Autism (ASD) and wanting to help others and bring kindness and awareness into the world as much as possible.

Outside the classroom

For my free time, I model, and have a hobby for photography. I also love to write, and one day want to write my own book about the hardships my family and I have had to face. More than anything though, I love to spend time with my brother who has Autism and is non-verbal. I am his guardian, and plan to accomplish every dream desired for the both of us.
