My name is Beth Lenherr and I'm originally from Kansas. I completely my BA in English: Creative Writing in 2002 from Washburn University. Since 2007 I was living and working as an Accent Reductionist in the Republic of Mauritius. I come into the MAEE program interested in a focus on linguistics. I'm happy to be a part of the MAEE program here at UPRM.

My name is Josué Morales Rivera. I currently live in Cabo Rojo. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Spanish Program in the Colegio, and since my first language is English I chose to continue the study of language and literature in the English Department. There is much more to my story, but the blog wouldn't have that much room. Besides, I much rather talk about it over dinner or coffee.
