About (request update)

A Puertorican native, traits that I consider myself known for are humility, courage, ledearship, and joy. As an extremely joyous person, I like to influence that joy and dedication to coworkers, friends, family and even strangers. I never shy out of a conversation, much less a challenge, whether it is school, sport, music, or in the workplace I will always try my best to learn quickly and strive for perfection. My goal is to become a Biomedical Engineer, using my engineering knowledge, and my knowledge of biology, to better our world through research and lab practices. Interested the most in stem-cell research, and tissue engineering (tissue regeneration) I plan to make an impact in this field. I have a very likable personality, and I love meeting and working with new people. In the workplace I can easily lead others, and take charge of tasks left to accomplish so that as a team we can get the job done. I am diverse and adaptable, and I am always looking forward with optimism. In the end, I am dedicated in everything that I do, so I can not only change the world, but also make my roots known and proud.,

Current Whereabouts:

Playing guitar and drums, listening to music, Playing sports (Besketball, Soccer). Reading the News (Science Section). Watching Television Series and sports.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

I aspire to become a Professional Leader, in the Biomedical Engineering field. Working to better the health of the world by applying my knowledge towards research in tissue regeneration, and stem cell research.
