As an enthusiastic and curious individual, I grew up in the outskirts of South and Northeast Los Angeles as a handyman of a construction worker and a public school student with a great desire towards science. 

Now as an undergraduate student majoring in physics my goal is to achieve a high-level understanding of and gain the ability to conduct research in the subject of nuclear technology. I have high hopes for this topic so I plan to gain the most out of my undergraduate experience in order to obtain the tools that I will need to establish a research-oriented future pointing towards nuclear reactor technology. So far my efforts in high school have brought me far enough to perform my undergraduate studies in UCSC and I have built a foundation for my future physics endeavors.

I also want to point out that I am human and I do have hobbies that I enjoy participating in. One big fact you should know about me is that I am a hardcore punk and thrash-metal head so I enjoy jumping into a moshpit as I let the heavy grunge sound waves from the guitar go through my heart. I also enjoy meeting new people and talking about how beautiful mathematics and theoretical physics is. When given the choice between walking or cycling to a destination, I choose cycling. I tend to listen more than speak, or at least I try to, and I never like to talk over someone. However, if there is anything that I find uncomfortable from a person then I won't hesitate to talk to them about my concerns. Overall, I like trying new things and I try to put myself out there as a person you can easily approach and talk to, and if there are times where I don't seem open then I apologize for that.
