Begoña Blasco
Architectural Engineering Technology
Building a Brighter Future
Owens Campus graduate pursues her master’s degrees at Catholic University of America. Born in Oxapampa, Peru, Begoña Blasco immigrated to the United States at age 12 with her mother and two siblings. “I learned at a very early age that things would not just be given to me; I had to earn them,” she said. “As an immigrant, my life in the United States was guided by the goals I set for myself. The first one was to learn the language.” After mastering English in just a year, Blasco set her sights on being successful both in and outside of the classroom.
“I had dreamed of becoming an architect since I was 13, I was without any possibilities for attending a four-year college because of my legal status and my family’s finances,” said Blasco.
“Until I visited Delaware Tech, I didn’t think I would go to college,” she said. Blasco was a recipient of the SEED scholarship and a handful of private scholarships. “If I would’ve had to worry about the money, then I probably would have never gone,” she said.
Now a Delaware Tech graduate from architectural engineering technology and a student in the School of Architecture and Planning at Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., Blasco is ambitiously pursuing dual master’s degrees in sustainable design and architecture with a concentration in urban practice. “I believe that if you want to do something badly enough, then you will,” she said.
“Begoña’s success speaks volumes for her and, likewise, for Delaware Tech. It’s great to see her thrive and know that she’s truly in her element,” said Architectural and Construction Technologies Department Chair and Instructor David Pedersen.
