How I've Changed  

I have seen other religious experiences and have learned to appreciate other faith traditions outside of my own. 

Memorable Moment 

My wife coming to join me at HDS and talks about angels, salvation, hell, celibacy, and priesthood with Martim and Catherine all Monday nights at the library. 

Favorite Class or Professor 

All of Carrasco’s courses, especially Gabriel García Marquez's class, Patton’s "Motherhood," and I really loved Holland´s "Revelation" course. 

Message of Thanks  

My wife Luz Berumen, and all the Harvard professors, especially those who took the time to read my work. I also want to especially thank the words of support and advice by David Carrasco, Kimberly Patton, David Holland, and David Lamberth. Also a special shootout to Rebeca Villareal for her library archival support. 

What I Hope to Be Remembered By 

Our Lady of Guadalupe scholar, and also for being a nice person (I try). 

Future Plans 

Go to Notre Dame and finish a PhD in Theology.
