Originally a biochemistry major who planned to become a forensic scientist, Fidel’s transition to education was fueled by the people who inspired him as a youth: his mother and his teachers. Fidel, the first person in his family to attend college, intends to inspire his students by providing them with unwavering support and relentless encouragement.
Fidel’s dedication to improving the lives of children is evident in his work as a mentor. His supervisor says that Fidel, “demonstrates a strong commitment to educate and support his fellow Latina/o students across Central Texas.”
