Jose Ricardo McFaline-Figueroa

"Ricky"

Hometown: Mayagüez, PR
College: University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus
Graduation Year: 2005
Favoriite Movie: Uhm, I really like "Big" (Tom Hanks, 1988) for some reason
Favorite Food: Arroz con dulce (a Puerto Rican rice pudding, served cold with lots of cinnamon on top!)

About Me: ¡Hola! I'm Ricky and I spent 21 years of my life soaking up some sun in my native Puerto Rico before joining the P&S family. I enjoy the beach (although I haven't braved anything north of Miami yet), love to read almost as much as I love writing, live for a good restaurant (of which there are many in NYC) and am currently trying to take up some sport (because I'm basically not good at any).  I am an MD/PhD student, so if you're interested in research, and want to know who to get in touch with, I can help you out.  Also, I can share my experience of being a hispanic at P&S, a school surrounded by a VERY hispanic neighborhood. Feel free to contact me!
