Estefany Cardenas

Estefany Cardenas, Writer

Estefany has always wanted to be great but never knew how. Through the course of her college career she faced many obstacles being a first generation college student. Lacking familial support she had to figure everything out on her own, but even while facing financial struggles working through college she still managed to help her household. Life did not wait for her to complete her accomplishments, now a single mom she has worked very hard to advance her working career which resulted in the gradual completion of her academic career. Estefany is set to accomplish her first associate degree by the end of 2025, she will then go on to achieve an associate in Diagnostic Medical Sonography to help support her daughter. She loves helping people anyway she can. One of her favorite things to do is cook. The absolute art of prepping, cutting and timing everything perfectly to have an amazing meal presented in front of you. At times she even cooks meals she would never eat because she respects the flavor profiles too much to not have others try them for her. Although this is one of her pastimes many benefit from the opposite is true of her singing. Her daughter loves her singing and even request specific songs but, as for the rest of her family, well lets just say they’ve heard the same tune since she was 5 years old. Although her story is not done yet, at this point in time Estefany certainly has achieved something great.
