What are you involved in on campus?
I am a member of Beta Theta Pi. I am the graphic designer for Chapman Dance Alliance. I am also a Guest Relations Coordinator within the Student Engagement and will be a future Resident Advisor.
What are your priorities in life?
My priorities in life are my career, family and friends.
What’s your favorite memory at Chapman?
I think one of my favorites memories is my last Fall Faculty Dance Concert, because I got the opportunity to work with amazing choreographers that are now my mentors. Another memory was definitely going to Havasu with Beta; it was definitely full of great memories.
What’s your favorite quote?
“No one really knows why they are alive until they know what they’d die for.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
What’s your coffee order at Starbucks?
I used to get just a vanilla iced coffee, but I just changed to an iced coffee with two pumps of vanilla and two of hazelnut!
What is your career goal?
I want to be a really successful dancer, travel the world with a great company. I want to probably move to Europe and dance for a while and then come back to Mexico and help the arts grow there.
