Previous experience with Civic Engagement (before and during Wellesley)

I grew up in a catholic school system that instilled in me the values of community service and giving-back, so before Wellesley, I often volunteered at retirement homes, nursing homes, and soup kitchens. Here at Wellesley, I've participated in community park clean-ups, written Letters of Love, and now serve as a Ministrare Peer Leader to continue my civic engagement.

Current campus engagement (clubs, leadership roles, etc.)

PERIOD. @ Wellesley College (Events Chair), Wellesley ColorStack Chapter (Founder+Co-President), Wellesley for Caribbean Development (Vice President)

What are you passionate about? (in the realm of Civic Engagement)

I am most passionate about projects focused on environmental protection and advocacy.

What keeps your inner fire blazing?

As an immigrant, I wouldn’t be who or where I am today without the sacrifices of those who support me, so I need to make them proud.

What is your most controversial take on food?

Pickles are not yummy.
