Hi! My name is Ana Candallo Esparragoza, and I’m a sophomore at the University of Massachusetts Boston majoring in Mathematics with a concentration in Computational Math. I’m part of the Honors College and keep busy preparing for a future in actuarial science. I was recently selected as a Scholar for the ICP STEM Initiative Fellowship, which supports underrepresented students pursuing careers in STEM.
On campus, I work as a Tanimoto Assistant in the Taffee Tanimoto Mathematics Resource Center, where I tutor students in math and enjoy helping them build confidence in problem-solving. I’ve also been a Quantitative Reasoning Course Facilitator, supporting students with everyday data and Excel skills. Outside of academics, I’m an editor for Her Campus at UMass Boston, where I love being part of a creative community of writers.
When I’m not studying or tutoring, you can usually find me dancing or cheering, I’ve been involved in both for years and even competed nationally and internationally. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish and have worked as a translator and interpreter. I love combining my passions for math, writing, and community to keep growing as both a student and a leader.
