I am a proud Guatemalan woman, a very energetic and dedicated person who sets many goals in her life. My goals are more than dreams, as I truly take the time to plan and take action to make them a reality.
I spent my entire school life at Valle Verde and my experience was fun and rewarding. The best part was building life-long friendships and a support system with amazing people. Valle Verde provided me with a set of tools that I’ve used along my journey in life and have helped me succeed, such as taking responsibility for everything I do. Additionally, the tools I learned from the Leader in Me process at school taught me to be proactive, begin with the end in mind and put priorities in my life.
I always wanted to go to college outside the country and I had the opportunity to do so. I studied a major in Business Management with a minor in HR and Psychology at Loyola University in Chicago. I am proud to be graduating in May and coming back to put into practice all that I’ve learned during the past few years.
I currently coach and tutor at Achieving College Excellence, a program designed to serve first-generation college students, students with a financial need, and/or students with a documented disability, as they discern meaning and find direction in their academic, personal, social, spiritual and professional journeys. The knowledge and experience I've gained has inspired and motivated me to apply this to Meraki, a nonprofit organization I founded that raises funds to offer scholarships for children in Guatemala.
I’m thankful for everything I learned at Valle Verde. It has played a significant role in shaping me into the person I am today
