Meet The Board

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.

Why did I join HBSA?
I became a part of HBSA because of the ambiance of all the people I’ve met and the people I’m surrounded by just elevate not just myself but others and are so conforming to be associated with the club and its people. And the most important thing of why I joined was the friends I've met made it all worth it of joining HBSA

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.
 

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.
 

Alondra Garfias

Major: Marketing (Digital and Integrated Marketing Communications) and Sports Business

Year: Senior

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.

Major: Supply Chain Management & Business (Language & Culture) & Applied Business Data Analytics Certificate

Why did I join HBSA?

The reason I became part of HBSA is because I wanted to join a community of other Hispanics/Latinos at W. P. Carey. I wanted to be part of a community of individuals who had similar cultures and experiences as me. 

Marisol Arviso

Major: Political Science & Sports, Culture, and Ethics Certificate 

Year: Sophomore

Why did I join 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. The more events that I started attending and the more I began to be involved within HBSA, I not only learned that I was growing as an individual, but as well had developed encouraging and meaningful friendships.

Marisa Rivera

Major: Majoring in Political Science with a minor in Transborder Studies

Why did I join HBSA?

I became part of HBSA because I wanted to be able to create strong relationships with my peers like my parents did. I have a large amount of family friends that have been heavily influential in my life and a large amount of them are friends my parents made through HBSA. I have found my familia at ASU through HBSA and hope to provide the same experience for others!

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. 

V’Andre Watson

Major: Accountancy

Year: Sophomore

Why did I join HBSA?

I became part of HBSA because I was looking for people with my same background and professional goals, but I found so much more. In a time when I felt like a small fish in a big ocean, I found a family in HBSA and people that I felt comfortable around that welcomed me with open arms, that pushed me to do and be greater, and people that inspire me to be a leader. HBSA has become my home in Tempe.
