About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The pusrsuit of happiness... not only mine, of course!!!!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Medellín (Colombia)... a beautiful city worth the visit... i'm a biomedical engineer, and i'm in Paris doing a Master in Biomaterials. Two big problems: always late to any appointement, and very disorganized... (anyway, i'm aware of those problems, so i'll try to work on them XD).

PHILOSOPHY

1. Think always in a positive way.
2. Whatever you do to others (good or bad) it'll come back to you.
3. Try to keep it zen
