Describe the work you submitted for merits.

I put a variety of works in the merits! I included photographs included in my project Homegirls about the appreciation and misconception of Chola culture in the mid-90s, posters from a socially-engaged project on Mercado Central, a photograph of a carniceria worker, a book on my grandparents, and two images regarding young intimacy.

Why did you decide to come to MCAD?

The top-notch facilities and opportunities I knew I would receive at this college.

What are your plans for your senior year? And beyond?

Complete all my required courses plus some fun electives like Expanded Processes. After senior year I hope to get a Fulbright Scholarship and do some work in Mexico with my family.
