Irene Nazario

My name is Irene Nazario  and I am Co-Director of Sube Ritmo. I was born in Guatemala, then lived in Puerto Rico, before moving to Georgia, and live in NC to study in the university. I am an Animal Science major and am planning to go to vet school to earn my DVM. When starting college I wanted to find a group of people that would make NC State feel like home, and in my time in Sube Ritmo I believe that I have found it. The Latinx community here at NCSU is like a big family that takes you in and makes you feel loved. This sense of community is one of the big reasons that I love being able to interact with each of our incredible team members. As Co-Director I have learned everything from how to mix different dance genres, to how to use various leadership skills in finding what is best for our team. I have made so many different friendships in my journey here and hope to have impacted others as much as their enthusiasm and love has impacted me.
