About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to graduate from my PhD program while living fully. And to cook Paleo/Primal.

ABOUT ME

I am a Chemical Engineer currently working towards my PhD. I'm from Mexico so I can speak spanish as well as english. My other passions besides figuring out what makes the world tick are reading, writing, and cooking (Paleo). My life goal is to be able to do a backflip. And to publish several novels I'm working on.

PHILOSOPHY

I will do what I have to do, and sometimes more. But if I find something that I'd like to do, I'll stop what I'm doing in order to do it.

My best friend says that in one word he can describe me as Passionate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can speak three languages, know how to cook liver (not a lot of people do) and am learning to do a handstand. I can also read the tarot.
