Jaymie Marie Velasquez was born and raised in Santa Fe, NM but has been in Las Cruces, NM since 2011 for college. She is a LOVER of learning and knowledge, (which comes from her mother who is a Kindergarten teacher and my dad who is a rancher turned civil engineer), and has spent her college career just being inspired by all the different kinds of people around her. College needed to be about new experiences and true learning. She considers herself a literary mind, and would at some point love to get a graduate degree in literature or Chicano studies, but at the moment is finishing up her undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering.
At this point, she is not certain what the next step will be upon completion of her undergraduate degrees, but is passionate about STEM education, curriculum instruction, technology development, and will pursue excellence.
