Having served two terms as Overall Coordinator of the Spanish language program, and coordinator of various levels in the past, I have had the pleasure of guiding and advising students on many issues that affected their wellbeing and success at Boston University. Also, being the first generation in my family to attend college, I appreciate the unique challenges that these student face deciding to attend a university as large and diverse as Boston University. I would like to aid them in accessing all the recourses and opportunities that our campus has to offer to ensure that their years of study at Boston University, whether undergraduate or graduate are successful and meaningful on a personal and professional level.
