Why I became a mentor: I became a mentor because my mentor in my freshman year was super inspiring and she motivated me to step outside my comfort zone. Thanks to her, I became very involved on campus throughout my undergrad and I found a strong passion for helping others. My biggest motivation as a mentor is making a positive impact on my mentees' lives just as my mentor once did in my life.
Bio: I am a Mexican-American, first-generation graduate student at the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, pursuing my Master's in Human-Computer Interaction. I am set to graduate in May of 2024 and I received my B.F.A. in Visual Communication Design from the Herron School of Art and Design in 2022. This is my second year as an IPMP mentor, previously I mentored in 2020-2021.

My advice: One piece of advice I'd like to give to incoming students would be to not be afraid to step outside your comfort zone, as cliche as it may sound! I want to encourage you to shed your fears and take that leap of faith beyond the boundaries of your comfort zone. It's within those uncharted territories that growth, discovery, and remarkable achievements await.
