Bio
I am studying to improve my skills in the media side of technology, such as film and new media, and maybe also cinematics for video games. At the moment, I am taking the starting classes for college, but I am also working on my own freelance work. At the University of Lincoln Nebraska, under the Johnny Carson School of Film and New Media, I learn from and work with professionals every day -- it is amazing! It can be shooting video, recording audio, editing what we have, or just researching about previous amazing work. Although I am really interested in creating video game cinematics, and currently don't study it because its a more advanced field, I will work hard. Because it's hard it doesn't mean it is impossible. I will keep on dreaming, and working until I get until my degree. I know I will make it, and I can't wait to work for video game companies!

Why would you recommend exploring careers in science and technology to other Latina girls?
I'm very proud to be Latina, and especially for what our past generations have accomplished so that today we are an imposing ethnic group in the United States. I strongly believe that it is now up to my generation to block stereotypes about our people by other cultures. It is up to us to ensure that our future generations of Latinos becomes a well-represented workforce in the entire labor market. And last, it is up to us to make more Latinas feel empowered to take on leadership roles and go into fields that have traditionally been dominated by men.
