Biography
Favorite Book The book is ''Waiting for Godot'' by Samuel Beckett. This quote from Estragon, one of the protagonists: " Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it's awful." This highlights the play's inaction and, by extension, life's stagnation. What's your secret skill or something people might be surprised to learn about you? I can identify when someone is lying. Accuracy rate so far: 92,23%. How do you like to spend your downtime? I find peace in simple, satisfying tasks like polishing shoes or ironing clothes. What do you enjoy most about Sandia Prep? The daily interaction with students as we learn from each other. The collaboration with our faculty and staff members is also appreciated. Year Joined Prep 2025 Total Years Experience 7 BA, MA
