Moises Hernandez-Rivera was horrified to learn of the devastation in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, particularly in the rural farming section of the Island where his grandmother lives. He would love to one day help design environmentally sustainable farm systems in that area. As a landscape architecture major, he is interested in starting a business that focuses on environmentally conscious reclamation and revitalization of cities. Read more about Moises’s experiences as a UConn student.
What attracted you to UConn?
I was drawn to UConn by the rural setting, having grown up in the city of Bridgeport and not having much outdoor time really made me crave an authentic woodland experience.
Why did you choose your particular major?
Ever since I was a child, I have been interested in the concept of space colonization and through a long and winding journey, I finally found the field that will someday allow me to practice my dream of designing a city in space.
