Hello! My name is Evelyn Juarez Gutierrez, and I am serving as the Vice President of Membership for our chapter this semester! This is my second year at SMC, where I am pre-med student double-majoring in Biochemistry and Sociology. I hope to continue my studies on the path towards a career in Forensic Pathology, a field that combines my love for science with my desire to bring justice to underserved communities such as the one I grew up in. 

Outside of school, I love making traditional art, playing video games with my friends, and listening to music across many genres. Some of my favorite musicians are Radiohead, the Marías, and Fiona Apple. When it comes to favorite foods, I can never turn down sushi or Cemitas Poblanas. 

I am truly elated about my role on the PTK board as I look forward to building bridges among new members and ensuring that each of you feel welcomed and supported! I will be working closely with students and guiding new members through requirements needed for induction, because I want everyone to have the opportunity to experience the recognition, resources, and community that PTK provides. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your journey, go Kappans!
