Hi, friends! I am a third-year mechanical engineering major with an option in robotic control! I enjoy researching human-robot interactions and how we can make newer technologies accessible to all. I’ve also been a participant in URSA Engage, a program for undergraduate research for first and second-year students. 

Currently, I’m a mentor for first-year and transfer students in LSAMP (Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation) and the SHPEtina Coordinator for Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE ). These organizations help me develop my skills in many ways while building a foundation for a supportive and positive community.

I envision a future where I can contribute as an engineer and as an educator. My dream is to join the 1% of Latinas who hold a PhD in engineering, which mixes my passion for outreach and education, especially in bringing STEM opportunities and representation to K-12 students. My internship experiences in the Diverse Educators Pathway Program have focused on this mission, grounded in the belief that knowledge is power and that by paving the way for ourselves, we create a path for future generations of students.

In my free time, I love designing, playing video games, and spending time with my silly Chihuahua. The best advice I can give to incoming students is to dive into things they’ve never done before. Don’t let fear hold you back from the chances of finding cool opportunities!

Helpful Resources

I always share these websites with my mentees because I wish someone had shown them to me sooner!

As a student at ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ State University, you can get free access to Mathematica and Wolfram Alpha Pro! This is a super useful tool for physics and math courses when you need help learning about topics like integrals!

Whether you already have one or not, you can get templates and instant and personalized feedback on your résumé or cover letter through VMock! The best part is, it’s a 24-7 online résumé review tool you can use at your own pace, which is great preparation for career fairs, job or internship applications, and conferences where you will be networking! 

Another website I love sharing is PaperCut! You can get 500 pages of free printing per academic term, whether that is for written homework, note paper, or anything else you can think of!
