It is a very interesting field which requires knowledge of sciences in hydrogeology, biology, chemistry, toxicology, statistics, etc. We made determinations of the risk associated to the petroleum releases based on information gathered from soil and groundwater investigations, which will be used in the risk assessment and corrective action, to protect human health and the environment.
In May, 1996 I graduated from the Master of Science Program in Environmental Management - University of San Francisco, California, USA. My thesis was entitled "Characterization of Shallow Groundwater Contamination in the City of Vallejo, California, based in 5 Local Oversight Program Cases".
One of my goals as a professional is to work in international organizations involved in environmental health issues, such as the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO), or the World Health Organization (WHO). I am eager and ready to provide my knowledge and expertise in several environmental health programs, to improve the quality of life in Latin-American countries, where basic environmental health programs can be carried out to prevent the spreading of communicable diseases.
On the other hand, I like music a lot. I studied classical piano during 6 years at the Escuela Superior de Música "Carlos Valderrama", in Trujillo, Perú, under the direction of Tula Li de Burgos. I like to play the piano, my synthesizer Yamaha, the guitar, recorder, cello, and some Peruvian typical instruments such as charango, zampoña, and quena, etc. I also like to sequence Midis, predominantly of Peruvian music. NoteWorthy Composer is the software program that I use to sequence the Midi files. I have a variety of midis such as Huaynos, Hymns, Marchs, Marineras, Polkas, Tonderos, Waltzes, Peruvian Carols, Mulizas, Festejos, Baladas, Boleros, Carnavales, Cumbias, Children, Rock, Yaravies, Andean and Classical Peruvian music. I also have the Peruvian National Anthem or Himno Nacional del Perú. This is the official version.
My daughters Amy & Bethany play in the Solano Suzuki Strings, in Fairfield, California. I also participate in this group as a pianist during their presentations or playing the cello in their country music repertoire.
Soccer or fútbol is my favorite sport. I play indoor soccer, and in the outdoor field. One of the best sports experiences of my life was to attend 5 games in the World Soccer Cup, which was held in the USA-1994. My soccer team is known as The Fairfield Arsenal. This soccer team is made of players from different countries such as Perú, USA, Mexico, El Salvador, Fiji, Ecuador..... We play in the Soccer Center of Excellence, Indor/Outdoor COED League in Vacaville. I am also part of the coaching group for the Fairfield-Suisun Youth Soccer League. I was the Head Coach for the U-10 Ladybugs Youth Soccer Team and the Solano CyberRays, a U-12 Metro Girls Select Traveling Soccer Team. I was also the Assistant Coach for the Solano Predators, a U-13 Class I Competitive Soccer Team. I am currently the Trainer for the U-14, Class 3 Vacaville Thunder Girls Soccer Team, this team belongs to the Vacaville United Soccer Club, in Vacaville, California. I currently coach the U-8 Vacaville Ladybugs and the U-19 Vacaville CyberRays Girls soccer teams in Vacaville.
I follow daily news through newspapers and magazines from Trujillo (the city where I was born) and Perú, such as La Industria, La República, Revista Caretas, Radio Programas del Perú via internet and Canal Sur Peru.
