She is an outstanding teammate to those around her.” Marcela is appreciative of her father (Nelson) as a role model. “He always sees something of myself that I’m not able to see,” said Marcela who is hoping to attend IU Bloomington to pursue “something in the medical field.” Marcela’s generosity and passion for supporting others is impressive. “ I would like to travel to places and help the people that really need it,” noted Marcela.
