Originally from Colombia, I now live in the beautiful city of Houston. I currently attend the University of Houston, and expect to graduate in the fall of 2021 with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and a Minor in Mathematics.
I like to stay active, and in my spare time I enjoy playing sports such as soccer and volleyball or working out. Luckily I have a very hyper dog that keeps me active and has recently led me to take up hiking. I also enjoy exploring all the different cuisines Houston has to offer.
I plan to to work in either energy, automotive, and aerospace engineering. I believe that these three areas of engineering will always change and shape our future with developing new technologies. I would love to be a part of these future technological changes for the benefit of humanity as well as for the benefit of our environment.
