Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico (1981), I have always attended public school. In high school, I focused on auto collision repair and painting. Towards the end of high school, I began to develop a passion for computers and mathematics. I became motivated to study and began to excel, eventually entered college at Universidad Metropolitana (UMET) in Puerto Rico. I started college when I was 17 years old at UMET in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I received the MIE (Model Institute for Excellence) scholarship. I was only able to afford to go to college because of this scholarship. I did my bachelor degree in computer science with a minor in mathematics. While I was in college, I went to three different SummerPrograms and when I graduated I held a fall internship in NASA. Right now, I’m a graduate student at Arizona State University. I’m working with my qualifiers exams. My goal for this year, is to take my first comprehensive exam in “Computational Elliptic, Parabolic Partial and hyperbolic Differential Equations”. I earnestly look forward, to a promising career in the scientific computing field and to help my large community in Puerto Rico, which I’m a part.
