Since I was little, I’ve loved creating things—whether it was through sports, theater, or painting backdrops for school plays. Over time, that creativity led me to architecture, a field where I can bring design, sustainability, and community impact together.

I’ve been accepted to ITESO University in Guadalajara, a school that truly reflects my values of innovation and environmental care. Studying there would allow me to specialize in architecture and interior design and eventually build my own firm—one that creates beautiful, sustainable spaces that give back to places like Los Cabos.

My parents have always supported me, but with rising costs and a younger brother who’s also heading to college soon, it’s hard for them to manage everything. That’s why I’m seeking support from the Monarch Effect Foundation—to make this dream real. I’m ready to take on this next chapter, and in return, I want to give back by mentoring future students, helping grow the MEF community, and working on projects that preserve the home I love.
