Hafa adai! My name is Peter, and I am originally from a small island in the Pacific Ocean called Guam. I received my Bachelors in 2017 and my Masters in 2020. After graduating I have worked in a couple of different universities including the University of Northern Colorado, where I received my degrees, and Metropolitan State University of Denver before coming to Mines.
As the first to complete graduate school in my family I know how confusing and intimidating it can be and would love to help you navigate the application process and understand it as much as possible! Outside of work you can usually find me spending time with my family and friends, trying out new restaurants around Colorado (recommendations are always welcome!), or trying to make someone laugh.
