Astrid Guzman

UPR '27

Astrid Guzmán is a current student at the University of Puerto Rico Rio Piedras Campus, where she studies Political Science. Before transferring back home, she went to college in upstate New York, where she double majored in Political Studies and Literature. She is particularly interested in American Imperialism and its effects on Latin America, as well as in the educational policy of Puerto Rico.

In past years, she worked as a tutor of various subjects, which has only served to reinforce her belief that 12-year-olds are the funniest people on Earth. Currently, she is working for an academic investigation into how people think about politics in Puerto Rico. Once she graduates, she hopes to complete a PHD and go into teaching, whatever form that may take.

When she’s not at work or doing homework, you will most likely find her browsing through trashy webtoons, drawing, or cooking, the last of which seems to consume most of her free time. She also loves to do research, even though sometimes her topics of interest are less intelligent-and-academic and more random 3:00 AM musings that must be answered immediately if she hopes to fall asleep anytime soon.
