Coming from a small town, being the minority, and the role model of my siblings, I became first generation on my family to pursue higher education and become the higher achiever I am today. I am currently pursuing a double degree in Community Health and Spanish, and my goal is to someday work with underrepresented families and become part of that support system everyone deserves. With a goal in mind, and with many challenges my family and I have had to face, I decided to create a goal of traveling abroad. I always had a dream of traveling to Europe, and Spain was at my most comfort level, which why I choose it for me to live and study for 3 months. Being the oldest and the first to take this journey in my family, has made me proud, because soon it will be one of my many accomplishments. I hope that through this adventure, I can learn, gain, and adapt new skills that I can soon bring back to WOU and recruit other students to also.. look at the world from a different view.
