"I was born in Acámbaro, Guanajuato, Mexico, but I've spent the majority of my life in Milwaukee. Currently, I'm a dedicated high school student at St. Augustine Preparatory Academy.
In addition to being a student, I'm a passionate athlete with a love for running. You'll often find me participating in Cross Country and Track events, pushing myself to reach new heights and achieve personal bests.
Apart from my athletic pursuits, I have a keen interest in computer hardware and technology. I dream of pursuing a major in Computer Engineering, where I can combine my passion for computers with my curiosity for mechanical systems. I've also developed a fascination with cars, making the idea of a minor in Mechanical Engineering even more enticing.
Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to be a part of the MEI Youth Program and was honored to join Nelson at the Latino Entrepreneurial Network (LEN). Being a part of this team has been an invaluable experience, and I'm truly grateful for the chance to contribute to the growth of the Latino community.
I'm excited about the journey ahead and look forward to making a positive impact in both the tech industry and the world of entrepreneurship for Latinos."
