Biography
Hi there! My name is Amy and I’m a senior in Leverett House. I’m concentrating in Social Studies with a secondary in Art, Film, & Visual Studies in the Film Production track! While I grew up in suburban New York, I was born in Ecuador and am a proud member of the Saraguro indigenous community. I’ve found my community at Harvard through advocacy, community service, and cultural organizations. Currently, I’m the Co-President of Harvard LiFT (Latinos in Finance & Technology), a Tour Coordinator for Crimson Key Society, and play violin/sing in Harvard’s one & only mariachi band. Recently, I’ve also discovered spaces on campus to explore my interest in filmmaking and collaborate with other artists! Having grown up undocumented and low-income, I’m very passionate about public service and accessibly to higher education. During my free time, you would probably find me at Lincoln skatepark in Cambridge or working on my next short film! I’m so excited to be working with the UMRP for a third year and can’t wait to hear from you! Feel free to reach out to me 😊
I passed through Cañar on my trip to my hometown, where I got to visit the Ingapirca Ruins!
After weeks of preparation, my hard work paid off when I was elected as the queen of my tribal organization in the US, SarUSA (Saraguro Residents in the USA).
Although I chose a few items to show, my collection of trinkets from Cambridge is growing constantly.
My roommates and I grabbed brunch in Harvard Square and enjoyed it on the steps of Widener Library!
Skateboarding at Cooper Park in Brooklyn at a Womxn and Coffee skateboarding meet-up.
I took this photo of my grandpa's cows on a film camera during one of my visits! The view was absolutely breathtaking.
