Summary

I am a second-generation college student and Mexican American, pursuing a degree in Industrial Engineering. My single mother supports me and my twin sister on a limited income. I have always been dedicated to my studies to help relieve her burden. I was in multiple honor and volunteering societies throughout High School with a 4.1 GPA, currently I have a 3.9 GPA in college. I have achieved the Texas State Distinguished Scholarship, mastered Microsoft Office and have made the Dean's List for my first semester. I am an eager learner and adapt fast to defeat challenges. My experience and devotion to soccer, volunteering, family business, school and honor societies have given me exceptional skills in communication, relationship building, communication, grit, passion, attention to detail , and pride in all that I do.
