Working as an Upward Bound residential advisor, interpreting for Spanish speaking customers, serving Milwaukee’s Electoral Committee, coordinating campus organization events, demonstrate that Guadalupe has made a fitting choice in pursuing an International Affairs major and a Human Resources minor focused on Health Studies. Guadalupe practiced her leadership skills as a Program Coordinator for the Latin American Student Organization and continues to develop them in her work as co-founder of ELLAS, an organization that encourages Latina young girls to pursue higher education.
