Why I Chose MET @ UW-Madison
My passion for environmental conservation and restoration has always been a primary focus in my academic and professional decisions. One question I always ask myself is: In what ways can I contribute to both human health and the environment? I was able to find my answer while being involved in an undergraduate summer research program with the MET Program at UW-Madison. I am confident that obtaining a graduate degree in MET will contribute to my professional preparation and enable me to search for new alternatives in solving environmental problems as well as educate society.
Hobbies/Interests
My favorite thing to do when I am back home in PR are water sports such as snorkeling and scuba diving. I also love going on fun and new adventures, sightseeing, photography, reading fiction novels, watching TV series/movies, and spending time with my family and friends.
