ABOUT ME

I am a 27 year old Latino that always has a smile on his face and loves to laugh. I went to Napa Valley College and transfered to UC Berkeley, where I earned a Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering. I worked in industry for a few years and am now following my passion in education, and hope to become and engineering professor at a community college in the next few years.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that one person can make a big difference in other peoples lives, as long as the intentions are true and come from the heart.
