Sergio (he/him), Student Ambassador
Hi, my name is Sergio, and I am a senior in Middle College. I was born in Veracruz, Mexico, and I was raised there for the first nine years of my life. I moved to the United States when I was in fifth grade. Growing up in Mexico, I enjoyed playing soccer and celebrating important traditions and holidays, such as Día de los Muertos. These experiences have shaped who I am and helped me appreciate my culture and background. I am interested in applying to a dental program because I want to become an orthodontist. If becoming an orthodontist is not possible, I would still like to pursue a career in another area of the dental field.
