neftalicastaneda@mail.weber.edu
I am currently a sophomore in college pursuing a major in accounting and supply chain management. The main goal that I want to achieve in HAC is to drive awareness of the Hispanic community at Weber State and support them throughout their career. I enjoy getting involved with the student community at Weber State and trying to help students to make them feel welcome to college when I have the opportunity.

I am a huge family person so I enjoy spending majority of my time with my family. During football season I dedicate my Sunday’s to watch football games. I enjoy spending time on my car. Most importantly, I love playing/practicing whatever sport my son is doing during the seasons.
I joined HAC because I saw an opportunity to make an impact within the community and I wanted to be apart of it. I enjoy being able to give a helping hand in any way!
Stefanie Vazquez - 2021-22 WSUSA Hispanic Student Senator
I am a Mexican American. I love to represent the Hispanic culture. I am an active member of Kappa Omega Sorotity and a Weber State Ballet Folklórico Member. I want to be a radiologist.
