Build-It-Yourself aims to inspire the next generation of builders! As a workshop leader at BIY, I combine engineering and creativity to teach STEM education through art, music, and video games. Over the last 10 years, my role at BIY has evolved from mentoring young students to becoming the director of business development.

In 2019, led an initiative to bring BIY to China and I am currently focused on expanding BIY’s presence in Mexico. As a Mexican American, it would be an incredible achievement to give access to students in Mexico to a program that can help them develop an invaluable skill set as well as prepare them for college applications. Many communities lack the resource to support their younger generations - BIY Mexico aims to facilitate kids’ access to mentors from top universities.
