Beyond my resume

The experiences
that shaped me.

I study Management Information Systems and Operations & Supply Chain Management at the University of Arizona, with minors in Leadership and Spanish.

The rest of this page is the story behind that path, told through the experiences I can show.

not human doings.”A reminder that shapes how I show up for others.

Professional Evolution: identity and reputation

My self-perception and reputation overlap in empathy, leadership, hard work, confidence, and problem-solving. I see myself as more analytical, calm, growth-oriented, and good with numbers; others also describe me as outgoing, caring, driven, and easygoing.

My SPI style

Analytical

The chart shows lower proactivity and lower reactivity, which fits how I see myself as measured and thoughtful in communication.

Average PRS style

Expressive

The average composite proactivity and reactivity are both 3.00. Individual responses vary, so this describes an average pattern rather than unanimous agreement.

Reasoning: I can recognize myself in the analytical pattern while also understanding why others experience more expressive energy from me. Radian feedback affirms my ambition, planning, communication, leadership, and help to others. It also gives me practical areas to keep working on: punctuality, following through on commitments, setting boundaries and prioritizing well-being, and being more open to trying new things. Mentoring, precepting, and student advocacy give me opportunities to practice those habits.

The experiences behind the person

Four pictured moments from swimming, FCCLA, Spanish Honor Society, and high school recognition.

Ages 6–16

Swimming taught me to show up consistently.

I competed in swimming from ages 6 to 16 and earned a varsity letter.

Creative projects gave me a way to solve problems.

For FCCLA, I built a portable dog bed from old suitcases and qualified for state.

Becoming a leader.

Blue Chip Leadership · Current

Peer mentoring and leadership development.

I’m a Year 3 Blue Chip member and Year 2 Peer Mentor. I facilitate leadership activities and mentor 25 second-year students through conversation, reflection, and practical next steps.

Student advocacy · Proposal and feedback

Making student feedback part of the conversation.

As a selected incoming member of the Eller Cohort Advisory Board, I shared student feedback and advocated for stronger advisor training, referrals, and follow-up when students raise mental health concerns. These were recommendations; I am not claiming they have been adopted.
