Hello to all, I am excited and at the same time nervous to be a part of this class! My name is Brian Pacheco. I am a 53 year old Hispanic male. Born and raised in the US. Happily married to my beautiful wife of 33 years. We have 5 amazing children together and 4 spunky energetic grandkids, as well as a Yorkie puppy who runs the house, a cat who thinks he’s a dog and a parrot that thinks he’s a cat. In my spare time I love to stay healthy and active and enjoy both the gym and pretty much anything outdoors with my family. I coach youth basketball presently and have always been involved in some way or another with the kids sports teams over the years.I have lived in Dracut, Ma. for most of my adult life.I speak fluent English and Spanish. I decided to become a Spanish interpreter professionally after many years of doing it leisurely for many things including the kids sports teams and randomly in many places when needed. I must be pretty approachable because I always find myself being to “go to” person lol. My wife being in the medical field has mentioned many many times over the last 25 years that I would be great in this field and I finally have decided to listen and give it a go! I know that this is going to be challenging as I have not been in school in over 35 years but I feel that I do have what it takes to succeed as I do love communicating with others as well as have the desire to make sure everyone is heard, correctly.Thank you and I look forward to learning beside you all!
