What do you hope to do after Echo?
I want to continue my formation in pastoral ministries with the Hispanic community. I want to help the Church in the United States to reach the younger generations of Hispanics. I am also discerning the possibility of becoming certified in Theology of the Body through the Theology of the Body Institute and perhaps, develop a bilingual (TOB) program for Hispanic Youth and Young Adults.

What is your favorite quote, song, or image?
My favorite quote is found in St. Augustine's Confessions, Book X: "People go abroad to admire the heights of mountains, the huge waves of the sea, the long courses of the rivers, and crashing waterfalls, and at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and yet they pass the mystery of themselves without a thought."
