As a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) preparer, I provide free federal tax preparation services to members of the community, supporting individuals and families in meeting their tax obligations accurately. I prepare and file returns using TaxSlayer Pro, ensuring compliance with current IRS regulations while maintaining a high standard of precision.
My responsibilities include carefully reviewing taxpayer documentation, conducting quality control checks, and addressing specific matters such as Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) requests and Child Tax Credit issues. Throughout the process, I prioritize clear communication, professionalism, and confidentiality, delivering client-centered service grounded in ethical responsibility and technical accuracy.
Student Representative, Student Council of Business Administration
University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus
February 2026 – Present
As a Student Representative on the Student Council of Business Administration, I contribute to strengthening communication between students, faculty, and administration. I regularly attend faculty meetings and prepare reports with key discussions and institutional updates, which I present to fellow council members to support transparency and informed decision-making.
I also represent the Council at university events and student assemblies. My involvement extends to the Social Activities Committee, where I collaborate in planning events and fundraising initiatives aimed at enhancing student engagement and campus life, as well as the Student Affairs Committee, where we examine current student concerns and develop constructive, solution-oriented responses. In addition, I manage and update the Council’s website, to ensure accessible communication with the broader community.
