I am a senior at Paul Laurence Dunbar SHS. I plan to attend Florida Memorial University in fall of 2016. My intended major is Psychology and a minor in sociology. I am from Washington DC.I have been working at The Young Women's Project since November 2015. I love to read books and go out with friends. My favorite thing about working at the Young women’s project is being able to inform my age group on the importance safe sex. I also like to make people feel empowered, although we aren’t adults we have a lot of important decisions to make and being safe is a big one.

My name is so long because I’m Hispanic. Both of my parents are from Dominican Republic, but I was born and raised, here in DC. I love my city and I’ve been attending Theodore Roosevelt for 3 years. I attended Paul Public Charter school from 6-9th grade. I am a senior and will be attending The University of Toledo in the Fall. A chapter in my life that I am extremely eager to start.

A few people know me as Mr. President, that’s only cause I’m the president of my great high school. By the way I attended Theodore Roosevelt one of the coolest schools in DC to attend. If you are reading this, I’m sure you started laughing at the last statement. I plan on going to college at the University of Toledo and studying Women’s Studies and Business Accounting. I also plan on starting my own organization, the YWP kind of inspired me to.
