I am a PhD candidate graduate student in Electrical Engineering at Northeastern University. I will be doing research under the supervision of Prof. Edwin Marengo, on the fields of Compressive Radar and Imaging.

I hold a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering specializing in Signal Processing and Communications, as well as a dual Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering, with a minor in Mathematics, both from Northeastern. Prior to that, I graduated high school from Colegio San Carlos in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. On my spare time, I enjoy hiking, kayaking, bicycling, and traveling.
