About Me

Martin Rios - Student at University of Advancing Technology in Arizona, United States

Overview

Hello! As previously mentioned, my name is Martin Rios. Born and raised within Arizona, I have always held many interest and aspirations that I hold dearly to me, and I take pride in how diverse they may seem to others. Professionally, I will work as hard as I can and do what I can in order to accomplish what is required of me, this includes working with others, planning accordingly, and dynamically adapting myself and my schedule to whatever situation or scenario that is presented to me. Outside of that however, I like to see myself as someone who can become friends with anyone as long as they are respectful and kind, I love to do a variety of activities including skiing, sightseeing, traveling (in and outside of the US), taking nice flights during the sunset, playing various sorts of video games, and just generally having fun!
