Now that Heather, Sr. Ringo and I are settled in, it is time to deliver some news: this week I started as a postdoctoral fellow @CIPR_Tulane. I’m thrilled to be part of such a great academic environment and to live in fabulous NOLA. Having my own office is pretty cool as well!
Mom did not attend college and raised me on her own working as a street vendor. Now I hold Ph.D. I am grateful for the support I received from my wife, my mom, family, advisor (@BerlinPion), committee members (@nicholas_weller @carreras_miguel), mentors, and friends. Obrigado!
The day has arrived. And I couldn’t be prouder to be graduating among this crowd.
Incredibly excited and honored to be graduating with these incredible scholars, innovative teachers, and great friends. UCR getting it done! @cruzita_osorio @_Igor_Acacio, Andrew Ivey, and Victor Morales.
