Cristobal Quiroz ’21 is a Biology and Political Science double major.

Where did you grow up? I’m originally from Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. I lived there for several years before moving to El Paso, Texas, the border city to Juarez. Once I started college, my family decided to move to Austin to stay close.
What inspires you? First and foremost, my mother, who immigrated to the United States to give me a better life. In addition, all of the minorities who continue to surpass all expectations and keep fighting for a better future for everyone inspire me tremendously.
What do you do in your free time? In my free time (something that basically doesn’t exist), I like to read, play tennis, and — of course, as all of my friends know — go out to eat!
