I am a first-generation college student originally from Tijuana, Mexico. I am currently a senior at Northern Arizona University (NAU) pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering with a Spanish minor. I have interned for W. L. Gore & Associates under their Environmental, Health and Safety Department. I also have been involved with Bioenergy Undergraduate Research at Michigan Technological University, as well as Algae Biomass Research under the NAU/NASA Space Grant Program. I am the President of NAU's Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society, an Ambassador for the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering, and have been previously involved with the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, Hispanic Honor Society, and other organizations. I will graduate in May of 2014, and plan to be part of an Environmental Engineering Master's Program with a focus in Water Quality and Water Resources by Fall of 2014. My hobbies include volunteering, tutoring, dancing, and baking.

I am originally from Lafayette Colorado which is 10 miles due east of Boulder. Being from Colorado, I love most outdoor actives, I also love reading and expanding my knowledge of the world. I am also extremely passionate about cooking, if engineering does not work in the future I want become a gluten free chef. My carrier goals at the moment are to move up to the Pacific Northwest and pursue a carrier in wastewater treatment with an emphasis in storm water. Sometime in the future, I would also like to pursue the legislative side of environmental engineering.
