Meet The Board
President
Brittany Orozco
Major: Interdisciplinary Studies with concentrations in Business & Communication; Certificate in International Business
Year: Senior
Why did I join HBSA?
I joined HBSA because I was searching for an organization where I could grow professionally, academically, but most importantly personally. At first, I did not have a sense of belonging at ASU, especially coming into college during the COVID season. Once I started going to HBSA events, it did not take long before I realized I would find my home away from home with the HBSA familia.

VP of Corporate Relations
Noah Patch
Major: Business Communication
Year: Senior
Why did I join HBSA?
My freshman year I didn’t really do anything and found it hard to meet more people. Until I was invited by my friend Elizabeth to a meeting where I saw like-minded individuals, who I can relate to & grow as a person. Not only that but I could tell HSBA was very welcoming & felt as if I already knew some of the members when I joined.
Activities Director
Anna Guerrero
Major: Business Management
Year: Junior
Why did I join HBSA?
I initially joined to find a community with similar aspirations and backgrounds to mine. However, as I became more involved, I realized that the value of this organization was much more than that – it was a familia. I believe what makes HBSA unique is not only its sense of community but also the numerous professional and social opportunities it offers. This organization has impacted me in various ways and being able to serve on the board is a great honor.

Why did I join HBSA?
I joined HBSA because I wanted to be part of a club where I could interact with other Hispanics/ Latinos, make friends, and be part of the Hispanic community on campus. It can be hard to come into college and find friends with a similar background, and HBSA was the perfect place to find that. It is also a plus that many opportunities come from joining and being a part of HBSA.

I joined HBSA not only to surround myself with peers similar to myself, but as well to become further involved within my Hispanic community.

Executive Assistant
Sharik Luengas
Major: Financial Planning
Year: Sophomore
Why did I join HBSA?
Entering college I knew that I wanted to surround myself with hispanics like me who shared the same values and culture because growing up where I lived there wasn’t much diversity, ethnic wise. Immediately upon going to HBSA events, I found myself in an environment in which I relate a lot to and made very close friends quickly.

HBSA has become my home in Tempe.
