Aidan Martinez is a proud Afro-Latino and youngest of four from San Antonio, Texas. With nearly 250 community service hours and being in the top 1% of his class, he is recognized by many as a well-rounded academic. As Founder and President of his school’s Black Student Association, Treasurer of the Spanish National Honor Society, and Captain of the UIL Academics team, he remains familiar with accomplished leadership. Using these skills during CHCI NextGen, he engaged in various workshops and networking opportunities with other participants and US representatives.
