Summary
I’m a senior at LAMP High School, Alabama’s top-ranked public school and one of the top public high schools in the nation. My life is guided first by my faith in God, followed closely by my family, who’ve instilled in me the values of hard work, humility, and service. From interpreting in medical and legal settings to working in customer service and serving weekly at my church, I’ve built strong communication skills, maturity, and confidence in real-world environments far beyond the classroom. I’m currently enrolled in formal ministry training through the Centro de Desarrollo Ministerial (CDM), a leadership and biblical education program through the Church of God (Cleveland, TN). This complements my calling to serve others, both through ministry and through my future career — I plan to become an immigration attorney, combining my bilingual abilities, lived experience, and heart for justice into a life of service. I’m proud of where I come from and committed to growing into someone who leads with purpose, faith, and integrity.

Work History
Crew Member
Chipotle Mexican Grill
05.2024 - Current
- I’ve been part of the Chipotle team for over a year, working in a variety of roles including cashier, line server, DML (digital make line), and some light food prep. I’ve learned how to keep things moving during busy shifts, work well with my team, and make sure customers leave happy. I’m comfortable handling food safely, staying organized, and jumping in wherever I’m needed to help things run smoothly.
Media Team Member
Iglesia De Dios Unción
04.2024 - Current
- I’m part of the media team at Iglesia De Dios Unción, where I manage audio, livestreams, and visual media during our church services. My responsibilities include running sound checks, adjusting live audio, setting up media presentations, and making sure our livestream runs smoothly for those watching from home. It’s a behind-the-scenes role that’s taught me the importance of preparation, focus, and teamwork—all to help create a meaningful and distraction-free worship experience for everyone.
Spanish-to-English Interpreter and Translator
Iglesia De Dios Unción
09.2023 - Current
- I serve as the live interpreter at Iglesia De Dios Unción, translating our Spanish spoken services into English for members who don’t speak Spanish. Each week, I interpret sermons, prayers, and announcements in real time, helping everyone feel connected and included. This role has strengthened not only my language skills but also my ability to think quickly and communicate with compassion. It's an honor to help bridge the gap and make sure everyone feels at home at Unción.
