A WHOLE JOURNEY
Engaging in the study of architecture stands out as one of the most advantageous choices I have made in my life. I firmly believe that architecture constitutes a service to society, representing a discipline that necessitates continuous innovation to align with the contemporary needs of society while upholding the foundational principles of this field.
Seeking knowledge
Having access to affordable and quality higher education is something I will always be grateful for with the University of Sonora. The fact that my university is a public institution and is not among the best universities in the world did not limit me to seek the means to acquire a deep knowledge in the area of materials science and engineering. My dedication during my bachelor studies is exemplified by active participation in research projects and scientific events. This has not only earned me academic honors but has also initiated a motivation to contribute meaningfully to society. I participated in two research projects. The first one as part of a summer science research program (XXIV Programa Delfín) in which I synthesized hybrid hydrogels for biomedical applications. The second one regarding my thesis project, which consisted of the evaluation of the electrospinability of polymeric solutions composed of chitosan/polycaprolactone for the synthesis of nanofibers with potential use in the development of a drug delivery system. Moreover, I also was involved in scientific dissemination events for the presentation of the results obtained in such research, through the elaboration of a scientific poster and the oral presentation at the XXIII Escuela Nacional de Biofísica Molecular, respectively. Thanks to this dedication, I was able to take my professional exam with honors and received several awards not only from the university, but also from state and national institutions. I was awarded nationally as one of the best engineering graduates in Mexico by ANFEI (Asociación Nacional de Facultades y Escuelas de Ingeniería). I was the top GPA of my generation in the materials engineering program. I received the University of Sonora Student Career Award. The government of Sonora awarded me the academic merit in engineering.
UNISON: Mi alma mater
As a recently graduated student from UNISON, I am very grateful for every experience and lesson I learned along. UNISON is one of the best public Universities in Mexico and the best one in the Northwest. Every new semester was a new and challenging coming experience that prepared me for the professional architect I have become. I really do not have anything bad to say overall about the university, I am sure my best years will forever be part of this chapter that I just closed in my life.
