Bio

Since returning to Puerto Rico, to support my educational goals & provide for my son, I am completing a certificate in Cybersecurity so I can generate income while pursuing my B.S. in Physics. My academic journey is driven by a mission to end water & energy poverty. My studies focus on optics, renewable energy, and sustainable engineering. Ultimately, my goal is to revolutionize Puerto Rico’s infrastructure. By integrating advanced photonic technologies, I aim to address the island's critical energy grid challenges. My vision is to implement smart grid technologies with real-time photonic sensors for optimized energy management. These innovations are not just technological advancements; they are essential steps towards creating a more sustainable and equitable future for Puerto Rico. With my desire to see tangible improvements in my community, I am determined to complete my academic plan.
