She/Her/Hers

Hi!! I'm a 3rd-year student majoring in Nursing Science. SOAR has been an amazing place where I have connected with many students like myself and built a community where we support, encourage, and lead each other towards success. I joined SOAR because I wanted to make an impact in my community and be a helping hand to anyone who needs it.

She/Her/Hers

Hello y'all! I'm a third-year student, majoring in business administration and minoring in Education. Outside of SOAR, I enjoy exploring new coffee shops, attending concerts, and spending quality time with family and friends. I joined SOAR because I want to foster a supportive community for undocumented students and underrepresented communities in hopes of helping my mentees grow in all aspects and empowering them as well.
