As a student at the University of California, Davis, I’ve had the privilege of being part of a diverse academic environment. I have been surrounded by a wide range of students and professors. This has motivated me to pursue hands-on experience early on in my field of study. As a Hispanic woman in the economics program, I recognize that individuals from my background are often underrepresented in this field, which drives me even more to break barriers and set a strong foundation for my career. I am resilient and adaptable, thriving in environments that require flexibility and quick thinking. I am always welcoming to gaining experience and receiving constructive advice. Combined determination to build a well-rounded skill set this drives me to start my career in economics and make a meaningful impact in the field.
