I am an English and Comparative Literature Major and I am in my Junior year. I immediately went into the construction field after High School and worked specifically in cement work, landscape, interior/exterior painting, and later as a construction consultant. I used to only work with fellow Hispanics so I always had to translate instructions, ask the GC (General Contractor) what needed to be done, and explain to the laborers the plans of a certain project.

It was then that I started to fall in love with reading and writing which made me want to go school and major in English with the goal of teaching English in High School or teaching an ESL class. When I am not in class, I enjoy planting and gardening in general, playing guitar, going for walks (really long walks), reading, and watching and reviewing films. I genuinely love being in a classroom with others that can express themselves as well as doing that through literature which is something that incredibly important, especially in an age where deep social interactions/conversations are getting increasingly rare.

I am very excited to expand my knowledge on the environment (and more specifically mermaids) as well as how literature continues to change over time which often times reflects society. Looking forward to reading all of the posts.
