I was born in Bayamón but I currently live in Lajas, Puerto Rico. I consider myself a social man that enjoys helping and getting envolved in causes related to my field of interest. My hobbies are playing basketball, watching movies and spend time in my family. As a biological oceanography student, I wish to work with coral reef ecology in the Caribbean.
