About
I am currently double majoring in Spanish and International Studies with a concentration in Latin America. I am extremely passionate about learning and I give 110% to my schoolwork. In high school, I was a member of the National Spanish Honor Society, the Italian Honor Society, the English Honor Society and the National Honor Society. I have done over 200 hours of volunteer work teaching Spanish and I have over 1,400 hours of volunteer work in total since the 6th grade. I love giving back to the community, specifically helping in cultural events and helping the Hispanic community. I am passionate about Spanish and Latin American food, cinema and culture.
