Schedule a Meeting with Delia

I am a proud Dallas, Texas, resident by way of Panama City, Panama.

I moved to the United States in middle school and spent most of my formative years being super curious about the world around me. I attended East Texas A&M University for both my Bachelor’s and Masters in Sociology. I was involved in a variety of student organizations on campus ranging from the Caribbean Students Organization to Leadership Without Limits. I formed a part of the university’s Honors College, where I was fortunate enough to receive the support to become a Ronald E. McNair Scholar and complete an undergraduate thesis.  After graduating, I got to continue serving the institution that gave me so much, as an admissions counselor and adjunct instructor. 

While I have loved my time in higher education, I have also explored other areas as an early career professional. I have previously worked as a consultant, human resources professional, and k-12 educator. My favorite roles however, have always been the ones where I get to support people in becoming the best version of themselves.

I am a natural problem solver, the friend others come to for advice, and a pseudo comedian. I enjoy spending time with my loved ones, learning new things, and venturing out to new places. My hobbies include photography, travel, collaging, and writing. During my free time you can find me listening to an audiobook, watching a Youtube video, or trying my hand at some new arts and crafts project inspired by Pinterest.

I was selected to attend a Latinx Leadership Institute experience with students from universities all around the country, and I met some of the most interesting people ever. It was so cool to learn about folks of different backgrounds and points of view while learning about the ways they contributed to their campus. 
 

I love visiting Presque Isle Park and taking in the views.

The most important part of your college experience will have less to do with what you experience in the classroom and far more with how you navigate the rest of your time there. Get involved. Ask questions. Always find out if there is a resource to help you accomplish your goals. Nine times out of ten, there are several.
