==Bio==
While working on my Business degree with a concentration in Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Menlo College '22, I had the chance to dive into many exciting projects, like founding The Veg Club, serving as Wellness Representative in Student Government, and being selected as a University Innovation Fellow through Stanford’s d.school - which helped me grow as a leader and creative problem-solver 💭 .
During this time, I interned for an exciting law/tech startup, HelloPrenup 💍, which was featured on Shark Tank! I also sharpened my advocacy skills 🗣️ through programs like Engaged Latina Leadership Activist (ELLA) and Policy, Advocacy, Leadership and Action (PALA) with the Latina Coalition of Silicon Valley.
