I am a determined young lady who sets goals and develops plans to pursue my dreams without distraction.
While being a dedicated full-time student, I also hold part-time employment at Trader Joe’s and find time to
volunteer within my community. My ultimate goal is to pursue a career in environmental engineering, overseeing
the development of solutions for adverse environmental effects.
