Julia Grant
Fernando was my house mate for a year whilst studying in Exeter. I got to know him has an extremely helpful person who really cares about his friends and family. He is a very smart guy who knows what he wants in life. I am sure he will always be successful in his career and personal life. I am glad I got to know him and glad to say we are still friends despite the physical distance and years that have passed since then.
