My main goal is to graduate and get my major in Interior Design and play D1 Tennis. I have learned to go through life challenges and changes throughout my life experience. Moving from Venezuela to the U.S. has been a constant growth and adaptation process in many different ways. So, I truly value all the opportunities that I have been given and I don’t take anything for granted. I always give the best I can and sometimes I am hard on myself. However, I know hard work is always rewarded. What makes me different from other recruits in character, is my empathy for others. I’m ambitious and try to leave a positive impact on the ones around me. I’m not only respectful with my teammates, but also with my opponents. In terms of athletics, tennis is my passion. I live for the competition, the challenge and leadership. My tennis career has been driven by my hard work and discipline. In terms of Academics, I have learned to manage my time to excel in my classes. I study hard; I’m dedicated and responsible. I have been consistent in my school goals and achieved my own expectations.
