Being a LEAD fellow will give me the opportunity to solidify my passion for leadership and help me learn new methods that I will be able to apply in my life. There is a need for Latinx leadership, especially in administrative roles which is why I decided to take a leap of faith and apply to the LEAD fellowship program.

One saint that inspires me is St. Gertrude because of her love for knowledge. I believe that we live in a world full of ignorance and ignorant people who spew hate and bigotry in any moment/circumstance they can. Being knowledgable in many things helps to be less ignorant and learn to love everyone.
