At Wellesley I like to hang out with my friends and skateboard on the basketball court. I hope to go pro before I graduate. My role model is my mom because she works harder than anyone else I know and gave up a lot so I could go to college. I have two cats (Margarine and Coco-butter) and a tortoise (Sir Turtle). I am a member of Sibs and Familia. It makes me happy when I see my peers succeed and are happy with who they are. I am the youngest of three siblings (my sister Reyna and brother Santiago). I hope to be a professor in the future, but I am also interested in building things using wood.
