Before attending Lafayette, Karla served as the only student board member on her county’s education coalition, which aimed to enhance the quality of education in the local area. She also served as a junior mentor for younger girls.

At Lafayette, Karla serves as an editor for the school’s social justice blog and also became a member of the Alternative School Break organization. Through this organization, Karla traveled to the state of Texas in the United States to work with students in middle and high school on their dreams to attend college. Her passion for mentorship and education is something that inspired her to apply to be a LIME student mentor. In addition, Karla loves reading, writing, and jamming to music! Karla is excited to meet all the amazing students and build a great connection!
