Beyond my resume
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.
“Human beings,
not human doings.”A reminder that shapes how I show up for others.
My CliftonStrengths
Radian PRS and SPI results
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.

Traits I selected about myself
My SPI style
The chart shows lower proactivity and lower reactivity, which fits how I see myself as measured and thoughtful in communication.
Average PRS style
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.

Leadership

Student advocacy · Proposal and feedback
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.
