New Students 2022

Jasmin Guadalupe Garcia Villa
Mentor: Kimberli Isaacs

I am in my first semester in the Bachelor of Public Accounting program at the University of Guanajuato. I value all the people who have supported me to get me where I am today. I especially appreciate my parents who have always encouraged me. I am also proud of myself. Many people told me how difficult the road would be and that I might not be able to achieve my goals. But despite all these comments, I decided to fight for my dreams and work hard. I know there is still a long way to go, but I feel very happy and proud to have entered university. My biggest goal and dream is to finish this degree, help my family, and one day have my own accounting office.

Edgar Alfredo Lona Macías
Mentor: David Rosen

I attend the Instituto Tecnológico Superior de Guanajuato, located in Puentecillas. I am studying Industrial Engineering. My future goals are to improve, update, and innovate effectively in my work environment. I am interested in learning how to direct a company with a focus on improving ethics and morals in the workplace.  I have great enthusiasm for what the future holds for me. I know that with effort I will successfully achieve my purpose.  To complement my studies, I also enjoy playing baseball at ITESG. I participate and train on Tuesdays after my classes. My friends call me Edgar or Güero.

Ximena Argote Hernández
Mentor: Rees Storm

I am studying marketing and in the second year of my bachelor’s degree at the Interactive and Distance University of the State of Guanajuato. When I began the task of selecting my area of study, I considered several different options. When I found out about marketing, I was convinced that this was the area for me. I feel marketing is a profession that will allow me to be creative and spontaneous without limitations. This career allows me to maintain my love for the visual arts and combine it with my curiosity and creativity. Since the beginning of my studies, I have experienced several obstacles. But the difficulty of each one of these has given me the courage and inspiration to continue. My mission as a marketer is to achieve consumer satisfaction. I aspire to obtain a degree in Brand Marketing and work outside of Guanajuato.

Brayan Zamarripa
Mentor:  Silvia Salas Correón

I attend the Higher Technological Institute of Guanajuato. I am currently in the first semester of my Industrial Engineering career. I selected this career because I am very attracted to the process of creating and improving systems, processes, and materials. My goals are to grow as a person both morally and professionally. In the future, I want to make a positive contribution to the world, no matter how small or large. I hope to contribute an improvement within my work environment that will improve my industry. I have a lot of enthusiasm for what the future holds.  I know that I can face things if I believe in myself. Another fact to highlight is that I am very passionate about playing soccer- I play every week. I am also learning to play guitar and want to gradually include music in my life.

Angeles Valentina Aguilar Rivera
Mentor: Christina Rockrise

I attend the University Institute of Central Mexico. I am in my first semester of the Bachelor of Social Psychology program. I chose to study Social Psychology because I feel I have good communication skills, and want to support others. In life, we will always run into obstacles.  We do not have to look back, we must face them and solve each of our problems. By having clear goals, we can achieve what we want more easily. When I fail, I do not hesitate for a moment to look for other ways to achieve my goal. During my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to others, and being outside in nature.  I try to improve myself day by day.
