Bio: I’m a senior at UC Berkeley double majoring in Business Administration and Environmental Economics & Policy. I was born and raised in Mexico and I have been living in the Bay Area for the past ten years.  I recently completed a dual internship and study abroad program in Madrid, Spain. I worked with the CEO and head of Business Development at Smartick, implementing their expansion strategy into the US market for their online math learning program for children. I am passionate about increasing Latino presence within Business and Corporate America. As Executive Administrator for the Latino Business Student Association, I was in charge of recruitment and onboarding of new members, and coordinating a mentorship program to ensure younger members had guidance throughout their undergraduate career. I am excited to serve as Vice President of Alumni Relations and provide our club with opportunities to explore different industries and roles.  I am also passionate about environmental sustainability. I joined the Association for Socially Responsible Business and I have worked on a community consulting project developing a sustainable revenue model for an app for social good and I am currently co-teaching a decal on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

​I feel excited to come back to my LBSA Familia as it has given me unconditional support throughout my undergraduate career. LBSA helped me land my first internship with Deloitte, mentored through the Haas application process and most importantly gave me a home away from home. Feel free to reach out to me at any time!
