Profile: https://flows.cv/monte

I was born and raised in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. I came to NYU Tandon School of Engineering deeply committed to both an interdisciplinary and global approach to my higher education. Along with my love for science and math, I have a great interest in pursuing an understanding of the complex historical, political and economic realities shaping my communities and beyond. I believe meaningful engagement can only be achieved through collaboration and a sense of shared stake within communities. I am eager to contribute to global projects, learning from others, and bringing in my unique culture and perspective. In my downtime I enjoy playing soccer and basketball.
