What is the best part about being an athletic training student at your school? I love being a part of such a big family and learning all sorts of helpful, useful, medical knowledge.
Favorite hobby? I really love to read fantasy books and watch some tv when I'm not busy with school.
Favorite food? My absolute favorite food is Fried Fish with French fries.
Must have in your fanny pack besides white athletic tape?The second most important thing to have in my fanny pack, besides my tape, has to be jolly ranchers. It always helps to have a little snack in case I get hungry before halftime.

What sports are you responsible for assisting the athletic training staff with? The sports I'm responsible for are the following: Football, Softball, Track, and Cross Country. I will always be ready if my head trainers need my assistant.
Funny athletic training story? In the year of 2014 at a football game I was assigned to do pre-game during half time, when the time hit six minutes I started sprinting to the field house and on my path there was a football bag so I decided to jump over the bag but I ended up tripping and running at the same time in front of the whole football audience. In which, Mark Lozano saw.
What are your Athletic Training goals?
My goals are to become an inspiring leader, increase student membership, and for the VATA program to expand its boundaries to become well known across the Rio Grande Valley.
H-E-B Feast of Sharing
Thank you.
