2020Project Title:
MDSG 2020 Virtual Professional Development ProgramAbstract:
My name is Ninoshka M. Betancourt Gómez, and I am a rising senior pursuing a bachelor’s degree in biology at Universidad Ana G. Mendez, Cupey campus in Puerto Rico. My goal is to continue my studies in marine science or in veterinary science, focusing on wildlife. As for myself, I love being outdoors and surrounded by nature and the animals around it, as I am an animal lover. At the same time, I am very open minded and dedicated.I enjoy working in groups, because it gives me opportunities to get to know new people and learn more about their cultures.
