About Me
Hi my name is Emily and I am a “Puertorriqueña”. For those that don’t know what means Puertorriqueña is basically my identity. I was born in Puerto Rico on April 4. My roots come from the Tainos, Africans and Spanish people. My family is a big one (finally Latino), but, my family nucleus is made up of my husband and my dog. Now I am following some of my dreams by studding mechanical engineering at University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez. I am in my 4th year and I will continue to the end.
​
About my personality you can expect an honest woman that will speak to you with the true. I will have a smile for everyone, I will look for the positive in everything and I will treat people as I want to be treated. Also I will follow my heart and believe in myself. For me Family time is precious and I love spending that time with them. Usually my hobbies are drawing, painting and helping others.
