## Caption

“I’ve always had a passion to serve and really like science, but I didn’t think I had a path to college. I am a first-generation American—my parents came to the U.S. from Oaxaca, Mexico—and no one in my family had attended college. I was accepted into the U’s College of Nursing and received a Miller Scholarship, which really helped. In 2021, I graduated with an honors bachelor’s degree in nursing and a minor in ethnic studies.

Now I’m a nurse and taking care of folks in the burn trauma ICU and I’ll soon start training in the medical ICU.

But I decided to come back to finish a full bachelor’s degree in ethnic studies to continue to educate myself on social issues, American history and the struggles of ethnic groups in the United States.” #HumansOfTheU #UtahGrad24 🎓
