Active
I enjoy working out at the gym and running.
Beyond my academic pursuits, I am passionate about social impact and leveraging my skills for positive change. In 2017, I participated in the Youth Ambassadors program, a leadership initiative managed by the U.S. Embassy in Colombia and the U.S. Department of State. I am a LALA (Latin American Leadership Academy) Alumni, actively supporting their mission to empower young leaders throughout the region since 2019. In 2021 and 2022, I worked as a Data Analyst in Propel, a social organization focused on fostering a community of technology-driven social leaders in Latin America.
