Q: What are some of your favorite activities or hobbies?
A: I love dogs and have a Border Collie and a Labrador so any activity that involves them! We enjoy camping, fishing, and hiking together.

Q: What is the best part of your job?
A: In addition to advising, I teach for the Spanish department. The best part of my job is when I have the opportunity to both advise and teach the same students.

Q: What is a unique or exciting thing that you bring to Georgia Tech?
A: In college I majored in Biomedical Science with a Spanish double major. I also studied abroad for a semester in Madrid, Spain while double majoring. I’m grateful that in my current position I can share my experiences and advise STEM students on the added value of the humanities to a technical degree.

Thanks so much for allowing us to shine the spotlight on you this month, Mirla!
