Maria Theresa is a Los Huskies Program Graduate, an experience she says put her on a path of self-discovery and has shown her how her identity relates to interpersonal connections with others. Maria Theresa has also been involved in the Latin American Student Organization, and has attended the Empower Retreat for students of color. She has also worked a Program Assistant for the Social Justice Resource Center.

"I am a first-generation low income student who has experienced imposter syndrome more than once in a campus full of affluent white peers and faculty members that may not understand my background... As an activist, I've seen people be forgotten of and disposed before even being heard. I want to challenge my leadership and I will use my networking connections as well as my curiosity in problem solving and love to help others be heard as my drive."
