Rosmery Roxana Coroxón Xep is in her second year at Beloit College. Rosmery is studying Health and Society so that she can return to Guatemala and improve health knowledge and accessibility. As a new student, she explored different classes to open her mind and discovered a love of anthropology and a deeper commitment to do more for people in need.

She is from a small village in Solola, Guatemala, and while her parents both had to end their educational journey after elementary school, a donor ensured that Rosmery received an excellent education at Atitlan Multicultural Academy. She was very active during her high school years teaching children English, serving as the Volunteer Environmental Organizer for Amigos del Lago and SICA, and participating in theater, science club, music, and more.
