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. They 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. In 2024, I will run my eighth marathon.

Emilio Martínez

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. This role gives me the opportunity to connect with students like you and help you discover the right path for your future.

I was born and raised in Honduras and moved to Costa Rica two years ago to continue my education and chase my dreams. 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!

As both a student and a recruiter, my biggest goal is to guide you and share what it truly means to live the Red Raider experience.

Emiliano Sayago

Recruitment Specialist
Hi! I’m Emi. 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 being able to obtain my soccer coach’s license in Barcelona. It was a very demanding but amazing experience. I met a lot of people and experienced the life of a soccer coach while living in the wonderful (and soccer-obsessed) city of Barcelona.
