Hello

I graduated wiht a B.A. in Human Development and Family Sciences from The University of Texas at Austin. As the Historian for Collegiate Double T, I’m excited to showcase the incredible impact our members have in the El Paso community. Outside of my role, I love playing volleyball, traveling, dancing, horseback riding, and spending quality time with my pug, Chato. Whether it’s binge-watching K-Dramas, exploring new foods, or catching up on my favorite series, I enjoy staying active and connected with friends.

My Story

Volunteering at La Clinica has been one of my most cherished experiences with Collegiate Double T. Each visit reminds me of my “why” for pursuing a career in medicine: to serve neglected communities and provide compassionate care in moments when people need it the most. Being a member of this organization for the past 1-2 years has helped me grow personally and professionally. Now, as Historian, it’s been a privilege to document how we come together to uplift and serve others. My advice to members is to embrace the journey—don’t forget to take a step back and enjoy life along the way. While the path to professional school may be challenging, it’s important to stay grounded in who you are and savor the moments that make it worthwhile.
