¡Laurita Querida!
My college journey has been unique. Being an international student in the United States isn't easy, but it truly requires grit and patience. Each experience taught me how to find joy in the "storm," as well as to enjoy every moment. Below, you'll find my hobbies, my interests, and maybe, a surprise... Scroll down to find out!

Mi Familia + Amigos
I wouldn’t be here without my family—their love and support are the reasons I’ve made it this far. Along the way, I’ve also been blessed to meet incredible people who have laughed with me, cried with me, and reminded me that even as an engineering major, college can still be fun.

God & Music
Ever since I was born, my dad's job kept our family moving constantly. When I was a kid, I didn't care but as I grew up, it became harder. I needed something that would give me stability no matter what: God. He gave me strength, resilience, and created me with a purpose: to serve others with compassion. I became involved with the collegiate ministry, the Refuge, as well as my local church, Healing Place Church.
The Refuge has been a place of growth & maturity for me. I came with knowing no one, and this ministry has been like a family away from home.
Each year, the women’s ministry hosts a conference featuring speakers from across the country. It’s a time for us to come together, grow in our faith, and discover new ways to invite God more deeply into our personal lives.
I started playing when I was 12 years old. This talent has been a blessing and has taught me that God doesn't necessarily use the most talented person to do His work. He uses those who are willing to put in the work and honor His Name!
