Who am I?
My name is Alvaro Rodriguez. I am from Colombia and I am very proud to be from that beautiful country. One of my great passions is life because I have walked this path by sharing it with amazing people. People that have taught me to see the world in a very different way. Extraordinary individuals have showed me what I never could have discovered by myself.
I am an eager reader of science, poetry, fiction, and politics. Additionally, I have a great appreciation for art, languages, music and semantics. I enjoy taking part in poetry readings at Barrel and Keg in Salem, Oregon, and my poem "My Normal Week" was published in the Winter issue of 2017 of the Willawaw Journal.
I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in Albany, Oregon where I specialize in the study of Corrosion. I am a writing contributor for Project Wednesday.
