Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to answer. Really like rock, sci fi and drama, and Jodi Picoult's books are my guilty pleasure

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1)I did a documentary about graffiti/writing/street art in ATL. Didn't turn out that great because I did it by myself for a competition that wanted us to do it for a week. I had fun. I can point out specific art around the city and tell you who wrote it ✌
2)Will be working on a film about immigration from Morocco to Spain. Might be going this summer but completely set to edit it and translate next semester.
3)Only one in El Salvador to have won an international Latina American debate competition

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you Spanish, offer great conversations, an avid learner, and I can help around if you need me to ☺
I'm also in the contact improv community in Atlanta so I can teach you some improvisation techniques if you're a dancer!
