Lenin Ballesteros, a fourth-year student of economics and public service at UC San Diego. I strongly believe that we must be the change that we hope to see in the world. Which is why, through my work in education and public recreation for the City of Imperial Beach, I aim to profoundly improve the lives of the children for generations to come. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring national parks, experimenting with portrait photography, tutoring disadvantaged students, and practicing new languages.
