Hi, everyone! My name is Jessica Morales. I am a senior pursuing a BA in HSSP and a minor in LACLS. I am currently in the pre-nursing track. I am enthusiastic to join the Humanities UDR team and looking forward to make this academic year exciting for all of you!
While not in school, I work at Mass Eye and Ear Infirmary as a nursing assistant. I am a double citizen of the United States and Colombia, letting me compete all over the world on Colombia’s National Fencing team. I am a foodie for Cuban and Colombian food, my favorites being arroz congrí and sancocho, respectively.
I am so excited to be your LACLS and Lead UDR and can’t wait to see what we have in store for each other. If you have any questions about the department, the division, and/or the Spanish language, don’t hesitate to reach out!
