Why do you want to become an egg donor?
I would love to enable another to fulfill their dream of creating a family. I imagine it will be an incredibly fulfilling, meaningful experience.
-
Anything special you'd like to tell us about you?
I am currently in the process of publishing my first-ever novel. I ranked in the 99.9th percentile on the LSAT, placing me in the ranks of the most highly-sought-after pre-law minds in the world (which still feels like a dream). I'm left-handed.

-
Who are the most important people in your life?
My mother, sister, and best friend. These are the people who have seen me at my highs and my lows and made me believe in myself—each of them, in their own way, have hugely influenced the person I am today, and I am so grateful for that fact.
-
What are your special talents?
I have the ability to lose myself in books: I can pick one up at 10 PM and find myself coming out of it as if from a reverie the next day at 8 AM (I've learned my lesson and no longer start books after 4 PM). I can also befriend almost anyone, probably because of my positivity, love of others, and genuine belief in the goodness of humanity. And I am able to see the best in situations that most people can't find any good in.
-
What is the one change you wish to see in the world?
I'd like to see a more inclusive, equal, and kind world.
-
What would you consider to your greatest strengths?
My greatest strengths are my charisma (I like people and people like me), empathy, intelligence, and humor (I'd like to think I'm witty). Oh, and my humility.
-
What is your favorite dish to consume?
Sushi! Didn't try it until the 4th grade and have loved it ever since.
-
What is something you've accomplished in life that you are most proud of?
Making it to college was a big deal in my family. My mom had her first child very young (17) and for that reason, didn't fulfill her dream of becoming a doctor. My father, from Honduras, came to this country to build a better life for himself. He came from nothing and labored gruelingly for every cent. While I've now done bigger things—Harvard Law School obviously trumps attending a public undergraduate institution—my biggest relative achievement, to this day, is making it to college from my background. Once I earned a bachelor's, everything (HLS included) came a lot more easily; there's privilege in education.
-
What is a book you love?
Pride and Prejudice
-
How would other people describe you?
Bubbly, caring, friendly, outgoing, and smart.
-
Describe your own personality to us
I identify as an extroverted introvert, although this surprises a lot of people who apparently don't see me as an introvert. I think of myself as more observant than intuitive, but personality tests differ in that assessment. The same tests, however, agree that I am definitely more thinking than feeling (but I will admit to the tendency to get pretty emotional when it comes to tearjerkers) and judging than prospecting (although I do love some spontaneity in my life).
-
Books you are currently reading
Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass", Karen Marie Moning's "Faefever"
-
If you could tell the intended parents who are considering you one thing, what would it be?
I wish you the best in this amazing, exciting journey, and am sure you are soon going to have the family of your dreams. I hope to have the opportunity to help you achieve those dreams.
-
Places you'd love to travel
I've been to Europe (studied abroad in France and Scotland) and Africa (volunteered in the Peace Corps in Senegal)—I have not been to any other continent outside of the United States and would love to travel to all of 'em
-
What are your favorite words to live by?
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sports/Dance/Hobbies you enjoy
I was placed in dance classes at a young age. To this day, I absolutely love to dance. I love jazz, tap, hip hop, and contemporary. I wrote a poem about my love of dance in elementary school that I still remember the beginning of: I love to dance, this much is true For when I dance, I'm never blue My body spins, my body sways The race of time, it never stays Disclaimer: writing poetry is not a hobby of mine. I do enjoy reading, writing, hiking, swimming, and playing sudoku or other puzzle-like games, though.

Where do you see yourself in ten years?
I see myself: in public interest law, changing the world by creating a more just society for all; with a partner and young (adopted) child; and as a published novelist.
