NORTH MIAMI BEACH
I immigrated here when I was five years old and gained my citizenship shortly after. I'm very partial towards Greek Mythology and history in general. Lately I've been taking a liking to Forensic Science, it really interests me.
I'm sort of a pack rat. I like salvaging things that i think might come in handy later on in life. This also holds true for yard sales and flea markets which i frequent as often as possible. Unfortunately my parents aren't as excited about the avalanche of Billy Joel vinyls after a weekend spree.
I'm currently enrolled at Florida International University seeking a Bachelors of Science in Early Childhood Development, a Minor in Psychology, and a Masters in Speech Pathology/Audiology. Hope to graduate sometime in 2013 and start graduate school soon thereafter. Currently in my 3rd year of studies, pulling a 3.6 GPA.
Extracurricular
- On my free time
- I like to doodle on my free time. Sketching and painting mostly. Sometimes messing around with photoshop and creating some pretty cool graphics.
- School staff writer
- I've been involved in journalism since my middle school years. I enjoy writing, but maybe not when students are left in charge of determining my abilities. That never works out.
- Does the shower count?
- I love to sing. At which times I don't really pay attention to the people around me, and sing rather off key.
- PSAT course / college prep
- Took a course during the summer which focused on resume writing, college prep, essay writing, standardized testing skills, and typing.
Experience
- Clerk
- Mirta De Perales
- Filed papers, xeroxed, ran errands.
- Assistant
- Opportunity Charter
- I weld a few minuscule pieces of metal (get them ready for insertion of fishing rods, nuts and bolts, washers etc.). Assemble nets, fix fishing rods. Make sure everything is all nice and tidy.
