EDUCATION
Brief Description of my Education Path
Master's Degree in
Aerospace Engineering
After completing my Bachelor Degree in Aerospace Engineering, I have decided to take a step further on my professional formation by pursuing a Master's Degree in Dynamics and Controls. My desire to learn more and the idea of becoming a more complete and competent engineer have encouraged me to continue my studies.
Bachelor in
Aerospace Engineering
As a student-athlete and future Aerospace Engineer, Embry-Riddle is the perfect place for my professional development. In the category of Best Undergraduate Aerospace Engineering Programs, Embry-Riddle is the No. 1 ranked school in the country for the third year in a row.
​
During my first three years I've been recognized in the Dean's List every semester due to academic excellence. I also became part of two emblematic Engineering Honors Societies: Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Gamma Tau, which makes me part of the top 12% of the students in this college.
Secondary School Degree
IES EMILIO PRADOS
IES Emilio Prados is considered one of the best schools in my hometown, as well as challenging, that prepare students for the Spanish Exam of Access to University (an exam that all students have to take in order to be admitted by a university).
During this period I studied Engineering Baccalaureate. With respect to accademic awards, I was accredited with Honors (the best mark available and awarded to only a small number of sudents who have demonstrated an exellent performance). At the ceremony of graduation, I had the great pleasure and honor to give the end-of-course speech, representing all my classmates and professors.
Primary School
ROSARIO MORENO
Rosario Moreno was the first school I attended. That's where I met most of my friends and where I consolidated my academic pillar. I had the honor to be part of the best generation of students in the history of the school and, in addition to this, I was selected as one the top 5 students of this generation.
​
At the age of 11, both my tutor and the head of the psychology department agreed to measure my IQ due to my outstanding academic performance. The test revealed I was a gifted student with a high IQ level above average. As a result, I was offered the possibility of skipping two academic years, although I decided to skip only one.
​
Even though I finished my studying period at this school a long time a good, I still preserve a good relationship with the professors and the head of the institution. They usually offer me to possibility of giving motivational speeches to the students currently attending the school.
