Brief Biographical Sketch:

I am a first-year undergraduate student at MIT. I was born in Colorado to two immigrant parents, both of whom did not complete high school. After moving to California, I completed the majority of my schooling in the Murrieta Valley Unified School District, becoming the first student from my school to ever get into MIT.

Some of the activities I am a part of at MIT include, but are not limited to:
- MIT EMS: EMT-B
- MIT UA Coucil Member for Next House
- MIT UA Public Affairs Committee Member
- MIT ATI SAT II Chemistry Teacher
- Archery
- Rifle
- Other things I'm slightly too lazy to list.

Lastly, one of my favorite proverbs:
- There are two birds in a cage. Suddenly, the door is opened and one decides to fly out. There remain two birds in the cage.



Past Classes

  (Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)

X12953: The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat in Spark 2019 (Mar. 16 - 17, 2019)
As bizarre as the title may sound, this is not a work of science fiction written to explain the possible effects of wearing a sombrero costume for Halloween. Instead, this course will briefly explore various psychological phenomena, and some of their “interesting” effects, to put it lightly. Should time allow, history has left us no shortage of "cures" to explain (or simply have a laugh at).


X12527: The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat in Splash 2018 (Nov. 17 - 18, 2018)
As bizarre as the title may sound, this is not a work of science fiction written to explain the possible effects of wearing a sombrero costume for Halloween. Instead, this class will briefly explore various psychological phenomena, and some of their “interesting” effects, to put it lightly.
