Giselle Moreno, a senior at Duncanville High School, is making waves as she secures a full-ride scholarship to Princeton University through the prestigious QuestBridge Program. Ranked No. 5 in her graduating class, Giselle's academic achievements are matched by her extensive leadership roles and extracurricular involvement.
A passionate advocate for government and economics, Giselle has interned for U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett and serves on Senator Royce West’s Student Advisory Council. She is also the State Attorney General for the YMCA Texas Youth and Government program and holds a leadership position as the State Secretariat officer for Model United Nations. As President of the DECA club and Vice President of the National Honor Society and DHS Youth and Government, Giselle’s dedication to her community and academics is evident.
Giselle's commitment to her goals stems from a deep passion for public service and law. She plans to pursue both government and economics at Princeton, where she aims to continue making an impact.
The journey to Princeton has been especially meaningful for Giselle as a first-generation Mexican American college student. As the youngest of three siblings, she has found inspiration in her older brother, Jose, who attends Emory University, and her sister, Angelica, a student at Duke University. Giselle’s love for Princeton began during the Panther Impact Summer College Tour and was solidified when the university visited Duncanville High School earlier this fall.
With unwavering determination and a strong sense of purpose, Giselle is poised to make a lasting impact at Princeton and beyond.
