My name is Angelli Maldonado, I am 17 years old and was born and raised in Lowell, MA. I was born on April 3rd 1991 and am of Puerto Rican heritage. I have two older brothers and a dog named Scooby Doo. I’m outgoing, very friendly, easy to get along with and I like to try new things. I am a junior at Greater Lowell Technical High School where I major in carpentry; one of my goals in life is to attend a four-year institute to become a trained professional carpenter. I found out about UTEC through my friend Brittany, who is also a leadership member. After participating in several programs I am currently employed as the teen cultural arts coordinator. Being a part of the leadership team has taught me important skills in which I can apply to everyday life.
