About Me

Born and raised in a Nicaraguan household, at the age of five, my family made the brave decision to leave our homeland and embark on a new journey unto the United States. This transition brought forth challenges, including language barriers and unfamiliar customs. Nonetheless, with perseverance and a thirst for knowledge, I have not only adapted to my new surroundings but also strived with academic excellence and found a passion and interest along the way.

Education

Consistently striving for academic excellence from a young age, I was able to graduate as the valedictorian from my middle school. Furthermore, expanding my educational horizons, I seized the opportunity to enroll in a Dual Enrollment course with FIU during my sophomore year of high school and thankfully strived. Presently, I am enrolled at TERRA Environmental Research Institute High School, where I am pursuing my interest in STEM as a member of the Magnet Academy of Applied Technology and Engineering.

Worship Band Musician

From an early age, I was captivated by the world of music. The simplest melodies, choruses, and rhythms ignited my interest for my pursuit of learning an instrument. After a few years as an acoustic guitarist, I was given the opportunity to join the worship ministry at Church. This experience has not only contributed to my personal growth but has also helped me to grow and own new skills as an electric guitarist.
