Matthew Aviles' E-portfolio

My name is Matthew Aviles and I am currently a Senior at the NY Harbor School in the Marine Biology Research Program. I have always had an interest in science, more specifically marine biology. I plan on majoring in Biomedical Engineering once I get to college to figure out the correct career path for myself. Although I do not have a specific career path in mind, I plan on learning everything within the Engineering and Biochemistry field to develop a deeper understanding of the topic and choose the appropriate path. I am dependable and able to adapt to new situations. I always make sure that I meet deadlines and a quick study. Recording, organizing, and deciphering data are just a few of the skills that I have to offer. I am a passionate and dedicated hard worker. One of my weaknesses would be a lack of experience. The field that I am interested in is one that requires much hands-on experience which is something that is accomplished over time. The more experience I gain the better understanding of the field I will develop. My myers briggs test states that I'm an INTP-T. This means that I apply to the personality type of a "Logician," and I believe this applies. Currently, outside of school, I am a life scout which is the second-highest rank in Boy Scouts. Through my time there I have accomplished numerous merit badges and leadership experience. While at the Harbor School I have maintained an above 90 average. As I approach the end of my senior year I am excited to continue to learn new things and expand my knowledge in a variety of areas.
