Congratulations to the Class of 2026 on your achievements. We are so proud. This is Part 6 and our final post in our 2026 Grads Photo Series! Please check out our other posts for many more photos of our amazing graduates crossing the stage!

With “nothing but dreams in a suitcase,” Dianeliz So left her home in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, to pursue an Associate’s Degree in Cybersecurity at Pima. After walking the graduation stage in May, Dianeliz is off to the University of Arizona this Fall to get her Bachelor’s degree.

Her determination and interest in cybersecurity stems from her empathy for people whose lives have been ruined by cyber crime. “My goal will always be to continue learning cybersecurity to protect my family, which is priceless for me. Security is justice,” she says.

Moving to a new city solo is challenging, but getting involved helped her find community and support. “Tucson went from being a new town to home,” she says. Dianeliz credits Pima’s excellent faculty, tutors, and advisors, along with free resources like tutoring, workshops, and career fairs, for contributing to an “irreplaceable experience” as a student at Pima.

While a full-time student, she also worked full-time as a sales rep for a cell phone company to support herself – paying rent, medical bills and living expenses for herself and her cat, Oliver (see slide X!!)

“It has been the most joyful and hard process to fully depend on myself to be able to access higher education, to be the first woman in my family to earn a degree in the U.S.,” she says. “There were nights where I felt like I couldn't do it anymore, days where I didn't know if I would make it to pay rent, feeling like I was carrying the world in my shoulders. Being able to attend Pima has given me the opportunity of my life. It has contributed in my growth, and built my discipline, resilience and strength.”

Congratulations to Dianeliz So, one of our Class of 2026 Student Representatives, for your achievement, and best of luck at !
