Fun Facts

I was born in Puerto Rico where I lived for 14 years, therefore, I am fluent in Spanish. I love to run; when I was younger I was the Champion National of Puerto Rico in Track and Field. I am now, however, not nearly as fast as I used to be since I do not practice as much as I used to because I am very busy with college. I enjoy of many activities, but what I like the most is meeting people.

About Me

I am a Biology major and Chemistry minor at maryland/towson">towson-university">maryland/towson">Towson University from which I expect to graduate May 2015. This is a very exciting year for me, because I will be completing my pre-medicine prerequisites, taking my Medical College Admission Test and applying to medical schools.
My academic performance has always been my priority. I am currently a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars and tri-Beta Biology Honor Society. Also, I have been given the opportunity to participate in Genetics research.

When I was in Puerto Rico, English was my worst subject; I truly hated it. Then, my parents decided to move to Maryland, where everyone speaks English! I was afraid that I would fail all of my classes. That year I met my English as a second language teacher. She encouraged me to talk regardless of how many words I mispronounced, she made me write numerous essays to practice; she was a great motivator.
Being able to be a part of others' learning process is a privilege. Some students feel discouraged, and lost when they are not able to understand a certain concept in a classroom. I believe that it is a matter of practice and patience. I am here not only to teach, but to be a mot
