ABOUT MARIA CRUZ ORELLANA
I am passionate about merging technology, law, and social justice to create meaningful change. As a dedicated student preparing for law school, my journey has been shaped by diverse experiences: from working in dynamic environments to building AI-powered tools personalized to the needs of my clients and communities I seek to serve.My vision is to leverage my skills to drive innovation and inclusivity in the legal field, with a focus on artificial intelligence, law, and service. My work reflects a commitment to empowering underrepresented communities and fostering ethical advancements in tech and society. Currently, I am refining my expertise in legal and technological domains while creating opportunities for others through my nonprofit initiatives like Casa M.U.S.A.(Mujeres Unidas Saliendo Adelante) and I am the current Reina del Desfile Salvadoreño de New Jersey and current Reina del Carnaval de San Miguel New York. This role has lead me to embrace visual storytelling and archiving my Salvadoran American journey.
