2025 Inspiring Graduate | Edain Larios
May 5, 2025 - Anna Padilla
Edain Larios has been building a new life for herself from the ground up. Though attending The University of New Mexico was a no-brainer for her, when she came to Albuquerque, she was overwhelmed.
Her family lives in Lovington, and her older sister attended the university before she did. “I came from a really, really small town where everybody stayed there and went to work the oil field," Larios said.
When Larios got to UNM, she wanted to only focus on her classes and didn’t make an effort to meet many people. She felt like she was burning herself out without a balance of fun and schoolwork.
