I am a first-generation college student majoring in political science, with strong academic interests in law, writing, and public service. I immigrated to the United States from Cuba at a young age, an experience that continues to shape how I approach education, identity, and opportunity. My academic focus centers on understanding legal systems, power, and social structures, particularly how law intersects with lived experience. Through my coursework and independent study, I have developed a deep appreciation for critical thinking, research, and clear, purposeful writing.
Alongside my studies, I have been actively involved in leadership and community engagement. I have held officer roles in student organizations and consistently participated in service initiatives focused on education, civic involvement, and local outreach. I have also volunteered with Miami Dade College on community-based projects and completed a paid internship with the Education Fund, where I supported staff and administrators with summer programming. These experiences strengthened my interest in law, education, and advocacy, and reinforced my commitment to contributing meaningfully to the communities I am part of.
Outside of academics and service, I am deeply interested in creative expression and pop culture. I enjoy writing, fashion, visual art, and exploring trends and aesthetics, often using platforms like Pinterest as a source of inspiration. I have taken creative writing and college-level English courses and was a finalist in the Barnacle Society poetry competition in Miami. Storytelling, whether through writing or visual media, is central to how I process ideas and connect personal experiences to broader cultural conversations.
