Angel is a first-generation Hispanic student who firmly believes that life is to be explored to the fullest, and he does so with perseverance, curiosity, dedication to service and great pride in his family, Hispanic culture and community. Angel lives his life through his favorite quote, "Sic Parvis Magnum", meaning "Greatness from Small Beginnings".

Hailing from a border town, Angel is most proud of co-founding an activist organization named "For a Purpose" to amplify voices and highlight community issues. For a Purpose successfully hosted an ICE walkout during school to protest the building of an Ice Facility in Angel's hometown, and was part of a greater high school movement which successfully protested for city council to halt construction. Additionally, they frequently canvas and phonebank for Texas Senate candidate Talarico, and plan to host a voter registration drive at school.

Additionally, Angel is the President of his school's Student Council and Vice President of his Class Office. He is a two-time regional qualifier in cross country and a member of the track and debate teams. He also volunteers at the food bank.

Angel is committed to building community, and he aspires to make a long-lasting impact by creating educational and STEM opportunities for children. When asked about his motivation and aspirations, he loves to refer back to Tony Costello's quote from The Departed: "I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.”
