leadership & service

I never set out chasing titles or trying to be the one in charge. What has always mattered most to me is building trust, being someone who takes the time to understand where people come from, what they value, and what they need to feel supported. Over time, I started to realize that many of those in higher power are detached from this perspective and prefer the spotlight over genuine representation. My goal in these current roles, and any I ever take, is to serve in community-driven aspects that truly help those I am fortunate to represent.

At the heart of everything I do is a commitment to building spaces where people feel like they belong. I believe in meeting others with empathy, in taking the time to truly see them, in finding the common ground in clashing ideologies, and in turning that understanding into action that makes life truly better, whether that means feeling safer, more included, or simply more hopeful. That is the kind of change I want to be part of, and the kind of leader I try to be every day.

Above all, I believe that public service should always favor people, not just those with money, influence, or power, but everyday families and communities who deserve to be heard and supported. As you scroll through the lists of positions and volunteering roles, know that they are not about the power or spotlight, but rather the community-driven determination. 

leadership Roles

Senator: The Ohio State University Student Gov.

• August 2024- Present

As a Student Senator for Ohio State's Undergraduate Student Government, I represent more than 30,000 off-campus and commuter students whose needs often fall through the cracks. I focus on transportation, campus safety, and making sure the unique experiences of students like us actually guide university decisions. I spend my time listening to concerns that rarely make the spotlight, building trust with groups across campus, and working on policies that make life here more practical and welcoming. It is important to me that anyone I represent feels there is someone truly paying attention to their day-to-day challenges, willing to advocate for change that matters beyond the surface.

Founder: Undergraduate Latiné Student Council OSU

• Fall 2025

I plan to introduce the Undergraduate Latiné Student Council inside USG because I feel that our voices deserve a permanent seat at the table of Ohio State University politics. I aim to build a council that brings Latiné students together, strengthens leadership, and pushes forward the conversations and changes our community needs most. It is a chance to make sure culture, heritage, and lived experiences are woven directly into how our university grows. This work means creating something sustainable that will keep opening doors long after I am gone, grounded in understanding, pride, and the push for a more equitable campus.

Ohio State Co-National Liaison: Kappa Omega Alpha

• April 2025- Present

I am one of the proud founding members who aim to introduce KOA, the leading Public Policy and Service Fraternity, into the University scene in the State of Ohio, starting in our very own OSU. Helping establish KOA at Ohio State has shown me what it means to build a space from the ground up with people who share a drive for public service and policy. As Co-National Liaison and Co-VP of Expansion, I help connect our chapter to broader goals while making sure what we build here truly serves students. It matters to me that members feel supported to explore tough topics, learn from each other’s backgrounds, and leave more prepared to lead with both skill and empathy. For us, this is about creating a real community — where ideas and lived experiences come together to spark change.

Executive Board: Mexican Student Association

• April 2025- Present

As the Sponsor Relations Chair through MXSA, I work on building partnerships that fund cultural events, bring in speakers, and open up pathways to internships and resources. My aim is to create opportunities where our community can celebrate who we are, share our stories, and build connections that last. Growing up, I knew how powerful it could be to see your heritage recognized and valued. That is why I focus on making sure students here have places that feel truly theirs, spaces that honor where we come from and help us keep moving forward together.

Communications Team: Buckeye Catholic

• February 2025- Present

Being part of Buckeye Catholic keeps me grounded in faith and gives me a way to help reach younger Catholics like myself through spaces we already spend time in. On the communications team, I help run social media and craft messages that feel genuine, so people see something familiar, feel drawn in, and maybe even start thinking about their faith in a new way. It matters to me that we build community in places our generation actually hangs out, and show that church can be as open, welcoming, and real as we are.
