Gloriana Gabriela Betancourt

As a results-driven high school student with a strong passion for academics, I am eager to leverage my extensive academic background, leadership skills, and exceptional problem-solving abilities in my collegiate pursuits. I have excelled in Advanced Placement (AP) courses, deriving immense satisfaction from my studies. My commitment to both academic excellence and extracurricular involvement is demonstrated through my participation as a captain and top point guard on the Varsity Basketball team, where I contributed to our historic advancement to the regional tournament, achieving various district titles as well as Varsity Track role. Balancing these commitments alongside a job as a sales associate has helped me develop valuable skills and a strong work ethic. I thrive in collaborative environments and adapt quickly to new challenges, showcasing my dedication to continuous learning and growth. I am excited about the prospect of furthering my education and making a meaningful contribution to the collegiate community.
