Maria Fernanda

I’ve always been curious and eager to grow. I taught myself English, started learning French, and balanced public school with daily dance and cooking classes. Each one has taught me something different—discipline, time management, creativity—but most of all, they’ve helped me understand the value of hard work.

With some classmates, I helped start Santos de la Juventud, a student group that encouraged young people to reflect, speak up, and take action to make the world more empathetic. That’s where I discovered how much I love inspiring others and using my voice to lead change.

I’ve been accepted to Anáhuac University in Mexico City to study Strategic Marketing, and I was awarded an 80% scholarship.
