Meeting President Laura

Florida DECA who is ready for a new year?!
Hello my name is Laura Valiente and I am honored to announce that I am your Team 61 President. I am going to start off with my DECA story. I started DECA my freshman year in Cypress Bay high school I was a part of the DECA Leadership Council (DLC). The next year I applied for an officer position and went through an interview process. I was excited when I got it. That year, my sophomore year, I was promoted to be co-president of Cypress Bay DECA. That year I was able to go to ELS and work helping Team 59 collect Helping Hands. So that year I campaigned to be Executive Vice President of Florida DECA and I served as your Team 60 EVP last year. And this year I get to be your Team 61 President!
Here are 5 quick facts about me:

1. I was born in Puerto Rico
