I have been promoting Mexican culture and heritage for fifteen years, since the age of three. From being a dance instructor, leader, and teacher in 4-H Club Fiesta Mexicana; I have contributed to the diversity and cultural pride that is vital in our society. Performing at venues ranging from Oregon State University, the State Fair, elementary/middle schools, retirement homes, and at cultural events. I’ve been able to perform dances such as the Machete Dance. Dancing and representing my culture, has allowed me to dispose of my nervousness and take pride in my cultural background as if it’s second nature. I enjoy volunteering around the community for great programs such as the 4-H International Summer Camps in which I serve as a camp counselor.
