Carlos is the International Documents Librarian at Florida International University. He is responsible for one of only two public university libraries to have a depository for both the United Nations and the European Union. He’s also responsible for the collection and maintenance of documents from the Organization of American States and other Inter-governmental and Non-governmental organizations.
Carlos has a passion for knowledge. He has two masters’ degrees, which he’s very proud of. He says, “For years, I suffered from low self-image and I never believed I could accomplish such feats. I am also proud of the fact that after countless applications, interviews, and rejection letters, I finally landed a full faculty position at my current institution.â€
He and his partner, Richard, in Hollywood, FL. They have three cats and one half-blind, very deaf 15 year-old poodle. They are always planning future excursions and escapes whenever possible. Carlos also enjoys reading and gardening.
If he could be an animal, he would be a pampered house cat. Why? “Lots of love, naps, and cuddles!â€
If he could have a dinner party with 5 culturally or historically significant figures, living or dead, he would invite Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Francis of Assisi, Barbra Streisand, and Judy Garland.
