About

I am currently a student at West Texas A&M in Canyon, Texas. I am studying mechanical engineering with the hope to get a job in Amarillo, Texas. I grew up in a small town in New Mexico by the name of Portales. This town is where I was born and raised and it will always be home. I am also a member of the New Mexico National Guard. It was always my dream to be a soldier in the United States Army and that is exactly what I did. I joined the Guard because I wanted to go to school at a young age. I have also been a Christian my whole life and that defines a large part of me.

Goals and interests

Career goal

My intended job path is to get my bachelors in mechanical engineering at West Texas A&M in 2023. I then want to pursue my career at either Bell Helicopter or at Pantex in Amarillo. I also would like to advance in the New Mexico National Guard and hopefully go to selections for the Army special forces.

Graduate school interests

As of now I have no graduate school intentions, but it that could change in the future.

Outside the classroom

In my free time I enjoy a variety of things. I biggest passion is working with my hands. I make a sell belt buckles, knives, wood furniture, and spurs. I also enjoy shooting for sport and hunting.
