About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living in San Francisco, working as lawyer in Tech & IP. lawyer.

ABOUT ME

I finished law school and decided the time wasn't right to start working, so I spent almost 2 years travelling and learning more about the world and myself, trying every new food and drink I could and sharing those moments with interesting and engaging people. I moved to London to work at a law firm, then lived in Bogotá, Mexico City and San Diego. Recent San Francisco transplant.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe travel is essential to expand the mind and to build empathy. Constant evolution, recognizing when relationships and friendships have run their course, and always open to making new connections. Self-care is the most important work one can undertake. Big fan of interesting conservations, silly jokes, new experiences and openness to other cultures and how others live their lives.
