Intérêts: I enjoy spending time doing yoga, reading, and exploring new coffeeshops and restaurants. While I was born in the U.S, my parents are both from Colombia and I grew up speaking Spanish with family, learning about Colombian culture, and eating delicious foods like arepas and empanadas.

I have visited Nicaragua and Mexico and volunteered teaching English at schools there. In 2019, I spent 8 months teaching English in Brazil. I have always been fascinated by cultural exchange and the role that language plays in that.
