5. Why did you choose to serve at GU?

“When I moved to DC I had a checklist of things I wanted from my next employer. This included things like growth opportunities, great work culture, aligned values and most importantly a place where I could be proud to work in. The last 3 years I had been working in Public Schools and Early Education, but I was really interested in joining Higher Education.  I applied to GU and, the more I learned about the role and University from reading and my interviews, the more things I would check off my list. I was confident I wanted to work here and become part of Georgetown’s community.”

“My hometown is Levittown, Puerto Rico. I lived there for 25 years before moving to the United States less than 4 years ago. Most of my family still lives there so I make sure to visit every year, especially for Chritsmas. If you see me with earphones on there is a high chance I am listening to Bad Bunny.”
