Mariposa Volando

Flying Butterflies

Detiny

Every butterfly starts as a caterpillar 🐛

Detiny arrived at Mariposa at 8 years old, at a time during the year when we were not admitting new girls into programs. Once our team met her and saw her spunk, we decided to make an exception and added her to our roster. We all saw something in Detiny that made her stand out above the rest. 

As a young girl, Detiny lost both of her parents tragically, but it did not stop her from fulfilling her dreams and pushing herself to keep excelling in everything she does.Detiny was accepted to Pearsons United World College in Canada on a full scholarship and graduated in 2022. She is now studying on a full scholarship at Middlebury College in Vermont, United States. Detiny is an outspoken leader, a passionate artist, and remains at the top of her class in any and every academic setting.
