Hi there! My name is Krystah Pacheco, and I am a junior majoring in Biochemistry and minoring in Health, Medicine, & Human Values. My goal is to attend medical or dental school after graduation.

I’ve also performed in mariachi groups for 7 years, and I hope to continue performing throughout my time at UNM.

Civil Engineering - Major

Music, Honors, Mathematics - Minor 

Class of 2025

My name is Jaimie Ritchie, and I was born and raised in Taos, New Mexico. I enjoy hiking, rafting, and many other outdoor activities. My major extracurriculars throughout high school were Violin, Chess, and Aikido. I have been playing the Violin for as long as I can remember, and I plan to continue with it throughout my time at UNM by doing a music minor and participating in the Symphony Orchestra. I played competitive chess and was one of the top 8 girls in the state since 8th grade. Aikido is a non-competitive martial art centered on avoiding an attack without causing harm. I have been doing it since I was about 8 years old, and it has taught me how to avoid conflict and move gracefully. I am majoring in Civil Engineering so that I can help my northern New Mexican community with the politics surrounding Water Resources and Acequias. I hope to do a triple minor in Music, Honors, and Mathematics.
