Major(s): BBA in Accounting minor Finance and Spanish

My name is Leboriah Chavez. I am proficient in my communication skills, and I have had the opportunity to socialize with different types of personalities/backgrounds, which helps me better understand society and our community. I am extremely passionate in helping others whether it be helping someone translate from Spanish to English, help someone enhance their resume, or helping at my local Food Bank or Animal Shelter. Being an open-minded woman has helped me build my confidence to take action when needed. Having leadership roles in organizations has contributed to my ability to thoughtfully act on any concerns, problems, or questions of any sort. I love transparency, I like to treat others the way I want to be treated and I believe that if you never try, you will never know the outcome and will forever wonder "what if". Having this mentality has helped me take advantage of all the opportunities at UHD (Go Gators!). As mentioned, transparency is a big factor to me and I am thankful that UHD gave me the opportunity to become a Correspondent to help other students that are in search of deadlines, events, alerts, important updates, or any sort of questions they might have.

​In conclusion, I believe that if you want to see a difference, we must be the difference. I am proud to be a UHD Gator. All of my efforts in my years served at UHD will be for the growth and enhancement of our wonderful UHD community. Thank you, stay safe and healthy!

Major(s): Non-Profit Management

I am the previous SGA President of the 2019-2020 academic year and have dedicated my time and resources to make sure that my college and the student body is represented in the Student Government. I am a Nonprofit Management Major. I have consistently been on campus and I am always willing to help support other organizations as well as students to be successful at their events and in their classes. I am a constant reminder of the true meaning of a non-traditional student and I make sure that not only am I committed to what I do, but I also make sure that it is done successfully.

I have been active in Student Government for 4 semesters and some of these events I helped to create were, “Around the World”, this event is where students from different cultures interact and get to experience a culture and will hopefully understand their difference. I also created events like “Know Your Status”, where there is on campus STD/HIV testing for all and “Times Up’ this event focused on campus sexual assault. My presence here on campus has been positive and encouraging to all. I hope to be the voice of the Graduate Student Body in SGA as the current Chief of Staff.

Classification: Sophomore

Major(s): Criminal Justice

My name is Kassandra Jamile Aparicio. I am a sophomore at the University of Houston- Downtown. I am currently 20 years old and I am graduating in 2022. I was born and raised in Houston, Texas but I am a proud mixed Latina. My mother is Mexican, and my father is Salvadorian. I am planning on getting a Criminal Justice Major and a Political Science minor. My goal is to go to Law School after graduation and become a Lawyer to help reform our Criminal Justice System. Hopefully after that I can follow my aspiration of becoming a Judge. I am the daughter of an immigrant family and therefore I know the struggles that immigrants face on a daily basis. Because of this I am a passionate supporter and advocate for them. I spend my time doing community service for the immigrant community.

In regard to SGA, I have ​been a part of this organization since my freshman year. I was a University College Senator for a year and half. I believe that to see a difference, we have to be the difference. We cannot expect others to create the change we are wanting to see. We have to stand up and take action for what we believe.
