Hello! I am Katherine, and I am currently a high school junior aspiring to pursue a career in the creative/general arts. As a first-generation Latina, I'm committed to applying to scholarships, after-school programs, and/or summer opportunities to give myself a chance to make a name for myself through artistic expression and make my parents proud. My passion for art began in the world of painting, thanks to my dad. From there on out, I've dabbled in graphic design, drawing, DIY crafting, and animation during my free time. In addition, I've taken Dance and Drama Tech classes, which have significantly built my confidence and created joy out of new experiences. I plan to continue dedicating myself to all these interests in some form during my college years, whether it be a career or hobby, from time to time. And even if my plans for college change, I feel that I'm ready to adapt to whatever comes my way. I've learned important lessons about responsibility, growth, and identity from being in a rigorous curriculum and loving community at school. It's a little daunting when I think about the college process, but I know that with support, love, and determination, I can take it one step at a time. I'm grateful to have the chance to apply to scholarships at Bold.org for financial support, and I hope you learned a little bit about me from my bio!
