Family & Roots

I was born and raised in El Paso, Texas, the oldest of three sisters in a family with roots in Mexico. Growing up near the border gave me a blend of Mexican tradition and American opportunity that shaped how I see the world.

My parents’ journey from Chihuahua, Mexico taught me the value of resilience and hard work. They taught my sisters and I to lead with gratitude, determination, and faith. As the oldest, I’ve always looked out for my two younger sisters Isabella and Victoria, who inspire me every day in their own ways.

And then there’s Mila! Our sweet and energetic goldendoodle who’s just as much a part of the family. She joins me on runs, sits by my desk while I study, and reminds me to slow down and enjoy small moments.

Family is the center of everything I do. Whether it’s my businesses or my education, each goal I chase reflects the sacrifices and love that built the foundation I stand on.

Fitness Journey

Running has been one of the most meaningful parts of my life. I started training for my first marathon with no idea how challenging it would be, but it became something that taught me more than just endurance. Every run tested my patience and mental strength. Crossing that finish line wasn’t just about the running, it was proof that persistence and discipline can turn any goal into reality. The early mornings, sore legs, and long runs reminded me that real growth happens when you stay consistent, even when it’s hard.

Education

I’m currently pursuing a B.S. in Economics with a Business minor at UT Austin.

Studying at The University of Texas at Austin has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The city’s energy and the people I’ve met here constantly push me to grow — not just as a student, but as a person. Whether I’m running by Lady Bird Lake or working on class projects, I feel proud to be part of a community that values innovation, inclusivity, and ambition.

The Eco Pet

The Eco Pet started as my idea to make pet care more sustainable while still being practical for everyday life. The product includes 300 lavender-scented biodegradable poop bags and an LED dispenser made from recyclable materials. The dispenser’s green light helps during night walks, and the bags are made from a bio-cornstarch blend that naturally decomposes over time.

I worked directly with manufacturers in China through Alibaba, spending months refining the formula and design until it met my quality standards. Once finalized, I managed international shipping to Amazon warehouses for distribution across the U.S. I also designed the branding and packaging myself using Canva, ensuring even the box was biodegradable.

The Eco Pet quickly became one of Amazon’s top-selling pet products in its category. It represents a brand built on sustainability, quality, and care — giving pet owners a simple way to help the planet each day.
