All About Dr. Melara!
Q: Do you have any pets?
A: No pets.
Q: What is your favorite at-home hobby? Do you have any musical, artistic, athletic, or intellectual pursuits that students might not expect?
A: I watch Netflix. I read books, but it gets more and more difficult to find the time to do so. I love salsa music and dancing. Don't do it as often nowadays, though.
Q: Do you have any wisdom to share about staying sane in a situation such as this?
A: Staying in contact with friends and family. My family and college friends are all out of state, but it helps to connect and see how they are going about their lives in their home states.
Q: What do you miss most about being on campus?
A: Working with students.
Q: What type of music do you listen to the most? Do you have any band/singer/song recommendations?
A: I enjoy listening to all types of music, but if I had to choose I'd say: 80s New Wave. This is tough because there were so many one hit wonders, but I would say A-ha's "Take On Me." I thought it was the coolest video on MTV at the time.
Q: What movie / TV shows have you been watching lately?
A: Narcos and Narcos Mexico. Always looking for new series too, so feel free to suggest.
