Biography

My name is Mariel Venzor and I’m a Sophomore at New Mexico State University. The major that I’m currently working for is psychology and I feel very proud to be a college student at New Mexico State University and even more proud of all my academic achievements. My family and I live in Puerto Palomas Chihuahua, a little town on the border of the United States. Due to my living on the border, I can attend school in the United States. Being raised in a Mexican home as the only kid and attending school in the United States has been a huge difficulty for me and many other students in similar situations.

Being part of "CAMP" helps us to keep working on our leadership skills, for example, by attending workshops, keeping good grades in our classes, attending cultural events that can help us have a better college life, etc. Having the opportunity to work with them as their Office and Social media assistant has been a wonderful experience. Working with all the staff and welcoming the new freshman each year keeps me motivated to keep helping people.
