Summary

I’m a First-Generation Hispanic College Student from the Bay Area, currently attending the University of California, Riverside, majoring in Sociology. I aspire to pursue a career in Law Enforcement but am also open to new opportunities where I can build strong customer service, communication, and leadership skills. As a dependable, resilient, and responsible individual, I work hard every day to become the best version of myself. I’m positive, upbeat, and successful at staying productive and calm even in fast-paced environments. I bring a strong work ethic, reliability, and hands-on experience with outdoor work and team collaboration.
