I studied environmental engineering in my country and I finished my studies in December 2009. I worked in the petroleum industry for five years. Now I’m currently enrolled in the ESL program at UVU to fulfill my dream of learning English. After finishing my English studies, I plan to study a master’s degree related with my field of study. After finishing my master’s degree, I would like to teach at a university in my country. In my free time, I like to go to the gym, read books, ride my bike, and visit new places. Finally, I would like to say that studying at UVU is a dream becoming true because it offers me the opportunity to be a student again, and I have no doubt that being part of the student council will enrich my personal experience as a student.
