Get to know me!

 Hi there, lets dive in! I am a service driven individual who leads an intentional and purpose-filled lifestyle. My values shine through my optimistic attitude and enthusiastic personality. Every day, I strive to make a positive impact on the world, and firmly believe that positive expression will influence those around me to embrace kindness and service-driven approaches. This mindset fuels my creativity and drives me to thrive in collaborative and competitive environments. My passion for Non-profit involvement is a central to my identity, allowing me to gain diverse experiences working with organizations and businesses. One of my most meaningful experiences was as a 2023 Student Visionary for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). During this seven-week campaign, I was immersed into Houston's cooperate world, learning about financial planning, nonprofit campaigning, event coordination, medical research, and government relations. This intensive experience deepened my skills in communications and business, resulting in a campaign that raised over $157,000 for blood cancer research. From this achievement I had the privilege of naming three $50,000 service grants. Two were dedicated to personal inspirations- my Aunt Carmen Perez and family friend Mark Kennedy; while the third honored Women in Research. This journey not only solidified my passion for service but also gave me the confidence to pursue a career in communication and business to create meaningful change.
