About Me:
I was born and raised in the Fall River Valley, where agriculture has always been a big part of my life. Growing up in a rural community taught me the value of hard work, perseverance, and giving back. During high school, I was actively involved in agriculture and FFA, experiences that helped shape my leadership skills and confidence. Even today, I enjoy staying connected to agricultural education by supporting students and coaching the FFA Spanish Creed.

As a first-generation college graduate, I understand that pursuing higher education can feel overwhelming when you don’t always know where to start. That’s why I am passionate about helping students explore their options, build confidence, and realize that college and career opportunities are within their reach. Through Upward Bound, I enjoy mentoring students, introducing them to new experiences, and helping them create a plan for a successful future. My goal is for every student to know they have someone who believes in them and is committed to helping them achieve their goals.
