Hometown: ManatÃ, Puerto Rico
Major/Degree(s): Elementary Education
Why did you choose education?
I have always loved working with children. I knew that I wanted my job to be around children but never knew what. I teach children part-time how to swim and found that I loved doing it, which helped me decide on becoming a teacher and pursue Elementary Education with a TESOL certificate.
What do you love about ECU?
I love that there are so many activities around campus the whole year. There’s so much to do and something for everyone to enjoy.
