Ana Victoria Balma
Recruitment Specialist
My name is Ana Vicky, and I came to Texas Tech University in 2023. I work in recruitment because I believe in the university. I have seen many students here who are determined, ambitious, and curious.

Being patient is one of my superpowers. My university degree is in Early Childhood Education, and I helped to rear three children into happy, successful adults. I am also a marathon runner and will run my eighth marathon in 2024.

Recruitment Specialist
Hi! My name is Emilio, but most people know me as Mimo. I'm currently pursuing my degree in Business Management at Texas Tech University Costa Rica, where I also work as part of the Recruitment Team.

I was born and raised in Honduras and moved to Costa Rica two years ago to continue my education. Sports have always been a big part of my life, especially soccer, which led me to join the Texas Tech soccer team project. I'm proud to say that our hard work paid off as we're the current champions of the UNILIGA!

Emiliano Sayago
Coordinator
Hi! I’m Emiliano. I'm half Costa Rican and half Colombian, and I have lived most of my life in San Jose. I'm part of TTU’s Recruitment Team, where I get to meet new people and visit new schools.

I get to help students decide their home for the next four years. I really enjoy what I do, and in general I am a people person. One of my proudest achievements was obtaining my soccer coach’s license in Barcelona, which was an amazing experience.
