My name’s Damaris, I’m from El Salvador a small country in Central America. 

I’m a freshman and I’m majoring in psychology. I want to be a mental health counselor and eventually a therapist. I speak two languages, Spanish and English. I came to the U.S. when I was 12 years old, lived in California for 4 years and then moved to Lexington. Some communities I am a part of are the Latinx community, the bilingual community, the minority community and others. I have a little brother who’s six and just started first grade. I have no pets but I love dogs so I wish I had one. I’m also a first generation student  I’m very happy to be at UK being able to have in person classes.
