About Me:

Born in Puerto Rico, but lived in Iowa long enough to call it home also. After leaving Iowa I spent some time in Washington, D.C. and Charleston, S.C. I then went to work for Microsoft as a Data & Applied Scientist II bouncing between Puerto Rico and Redmond, W.A. I am currently back in Washington, D.C. detailed to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a White House Presidential Innovation Fellow.


Traveling is my biggest passion. I have visited thirteen different countries and lived in 6 different states. Everytime I visit a new country I get a new flag sown onto my backpack.

What else?

If you scroll through my instagram account for less than 5 seconds you will soon realized that outside of work all I do is lift weights, go cycling and eat. However nothing tops reading a good book or drinking neat whiskey while conversing with friends or even strangers.
