You must first become a lawful permanent resident to become a citizen. Lawful permanent residence is typically obtained through an immigrant visa filed by an employer or family member. There is no path that allows you to become a resident under the circumstances you provided. You should continue renewing your work authorization (presumably based on DACA) in the interim.
