  • MVP of soccer team

Why WIT?
  • Apart from being in a city I love, Wentworth offers me a great space for me to share and act upon my thoughts. It is a small institute which I do prefer a lot instead of a huge one; Wentworth offers one of the best engineering programs in the east coast.
 
Future Goals?
  • Shorter goal is to start with the leading foot for first semester and graduating from Wentworth. Long term would be finding a job that is great for me, and keep adding things to my bucket list as I do them.
 
Favorite Food?
  • Italian food
 
Personal:
  • Son of William Velez and Susan Bowles ... has two brothers, Alec and Ignacio
