Why did you join CCP?
I became interested in CCP because of the many opportunities they offered to grow personally, but also professionally. Additionally, I was drawn to their value in cultural competency and the intentional effort for a diverse team of CCPs. Also, I have always wanted to be part of something that informs others about mental health topics and is working to break the stigma among the student population.
Future Career Hopes
I hope to become an Occupational Therapist after my undergrad and work with kids who don't have access to such practices or in a school setting. Additionally, I want to show those who look like me and others in the field that it is possible because Latinos only make up 6.2% of OT's as of 2021.
