Keila N. Diaz

I am a collaborative leader who believes that a good work ethic and clear communication lead to excellent results.

Sports Manager, Odessa High School, 09/21, 06/24, I usually manage all year round, football, wrestling, and softball. When it comes to managing I prep ice and water for the teams and provide a helpful hand to the coaches. I have kept books for games and meets but have also patched cuts and provided emotional support to the players. B+ Club Member, Odessa High School, 09/21, 06/24, The B+ Foundation partners with Odessa High School to help plan events to fundraise for the cause. As a member, I would help plan events during the year and also find sports dates to do a B+ night. BSU Club Member, Odessa High School, 10/21, 05/22, My personal experience in the BSU club was brief yet taught me so much. I was immersed in a different culture from the one I grew up in and took a part in. It allowed me to care for another part of my community that needs it. Spanish Representative, Duck Diplomats, Odessa High School, 06/22, 06/24, As a current Duck Diplomat, I am helping prepare for events such as the Freshman BBQ and the Freshman First Day. I make quack packs for the events but also offer tours and my personal experience at Odessa as a student. HOSA Club Member, Odessa High School, 09/22, 06/24, HOSA has given me the opportunities to enter into competitions and learn about the healthcare field more than ever in my high school career. It has taught me persistence, bravery, and how to be an empathetic student. Member, National Honors Society, Odessa High School, 09/22, 06/24, I am the first of the inducted class of the Honors Society at Odessa. It has been an honor working alongside like-minded individuals who stretch one another to spread hope, love, and joy to our community. My involvement has led me to be more driven and involved with people who I would have never thought would give me the opportunity. Vocal Director, Odessa Gospel Choir, Odessa High School, 10/22, 06/24, I hold Gospel Choir near and dear to my heart considering my love for music. As a Vocal director, I get to arrange the pieces we learn into different parts. This position allows me to have those hearing us feel the music and power that comes through what we sing and play. Ensemble, Beauty and the Beast, Odessa High School Theatre, 01/23, 03/24, I was in the ensemble of my high school’s production of Beauty and the Beast. This immersive experience of the Arts took me from my comfort zone and even brought me a new passion and love for music and theater.
