Where I am now:
As of May 2018, I have graduated from UTRGV with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, minors in Chemistry and Psychology. During my time working on these projects, I was receiving my master’s in business administration with a specialization in Healthcare Administration. During this time, I also became the head COVID -19 Epidemiologist for Hidalgo County. I am now in the Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara School of Medicine working on my Medical Degree. I really enjoyed working on these projects and taking my niece and nephew on these trips and teaching them about the invasive species and their effects.
