Puertorican born in Texas and raised in La Perla del Sur.

I completed my B.S. in chemistry at the University of Puerto Rico at Cayey. My passion for research since then led me to pursue a Ph.D. in the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley.

Currently, I am also Managing Editor for the Berkeley Science Review and SciCommBites, as well as an author and editor for the MCB Transcript at UC Berkeley.

My motivation in life is to bring the joy and excitement of scientific discovery to others by sharing my genuine fascination with the world and how it works.
