2020 Cohort – Phoenix

TLI has allowed me to think on a grander scale about the impact I want to have on society. It has shown me what qualities are necessary to become an effective and virtuous leader. Through TLI I have learned to appreciate and become more confident in the skills and opportunities God has blessed me with. My plan is to leverage those skills and opportunities to pursue my Master of Science in Dietetics, then a doctorate degree with an emphasis in diabetes research to be able to better serve God in the Hispanic population in the prevention and management of diabetes.

Supported by the TLI education and community we have gained, I commit to serving both life and the family, two values that are under special attack today. In regard to the defense of life, I will volunteer my research experience to the Scottsdale-based Bioethics Defense Fund. I hope to find ways to apply my current studies in Data Science to the pro-life movement. In regard to the family, I commit to facilitating recurring Consecration to St. Joseph groups for men in the Diocese of Phoenix, yearning to promote his magnanimous example of fatherhood and sacrificial love.
