Describe your background

I was born and raised in Añasco, Puerto Rico, a small town on the west coast of the island. I was able to learn English while enrolled in a specialized bilingual school. I have a loving and supportive family who always encouraged me to pursue academic excellence. In addition, I am the eldest of two siblings, and growing up I felt a strong responsibility to be a role model to my younger brother. 

What is your academic/professional history?

I graduated from high school in 2016 with 12 college credits already approved. Afterwards, I started pursuing my Bachelor of Arts in History at the University of Puerto Rico
