When I started my undergraduate degree at FIU I was nervous and excited about where this experience would take me. Looking back I was blessed with all the opportunities offered to me, and even though my schedule was tight between school, family and work I was able to accomplish many things. All these experiences contribute to the enrichment of my knowledge as a global citizen.
The Global Medallion Program was a fundamental part in pushing me out of my comfort zone and try new options. It is because of this program that I applied to the Board of UNWomen Club and was fortunate enough to be selected in 2016. I consider the club one of the pillars of my growth as a student. I started my journey with the founder of the club Trulesia Newberry from whom we all learned that strength, hard work and compassion can help the world be a better place for all of us, one step at a time. I witnessed the transition from the founder to the actual president Cindy Makita elected back in 2016 who took the club to another level with her intelligence, vision and leadership skills, and that when the time comes, will leave the club ready for new leaders to continue all the hard work and passion the past boards have poured into.
