About

I am currently a student at Everett Community College studying Aviation Maintenance Technology. I intend to obtain an Airframe and a Powerplant certification by the FAA in order to perform maintenance on aircraft. I was born and raised in Mexico and moved to the USA at 18 to obtain my undergraduate degree. I grew up in a bi-cultural household, American and Mexican and have been exposed to the American and Mexican way of life since I was a child, and have been exposed to cultural diversity since then as well. I have always been attracted to aerospace and the sciences, which is why I studied mechanical engineering and worked in the industry for 5 years. I am now on the path of changing my career to become and certified airframe and overplant Technician and work directly with aircraft.
