Stephania Arnaiz-Palacios

“It takes strength to be gentle and kind” is a philosophy that resonates deeply in both my personal and artistic journey.

I firmly believe that kindness and care lie at the heart of human connection and community. Guided by the values of kindness, community, and care, I believe in the impacts that united individuals can have when they care about not just their cause but others as well.

Currently, I am a senior at the University of Denver studying studio art, Marketing, and the Japanese language. I strive to spread the message of kindness and caring for others through my artistic expression and creativity. With kindness as my cornerstone, I am dedicated to advancing my education and fulfilling my dream of teaching to help others express their artistic passions.

For this reason, I wish to advocate for an education system that not only explores stem-related subjects but also fosters and prioritizes arts education and empowers students to explore their creativity.
