In 2008, he graduated as an honor student from the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico, where he majored in Secondary education of history. He worked as a history teacher for two years at a private school, and in 2010, he began studies in Accounting at the Pontifical Catholic University of P.R. at Ponce, where he still courses.
