Murfreesboro, TN
I was born and raised in the Bronx, New York and am currently 17 years old enrolled as a senior. I am also a Class of 2019 scholar at the nonprofit college prep organization known as SEO-Scholars. My favorite subject in school is math, a numeric subject that crosses linguistic boundaries. I grew up in a Spanish-speaking household, so I stand close to my Hispanic heritage. When I graduate from high school this year, I hope to attend USC, NYU or Columbia University and major in business. Some of my favorite hobbies include dancing, photography, shopping and traveling. I enjoy having lazy indoor days as well when I can sleep or watch Netflix. Combining my academic interests with my passion for cosmetology, I have found my dream job. In the future, I aspire to become the CEO of my own makeup company and create a beauty line. I hope to make a positive change in the world and affect people's lives with a beneficial touch.
