About Me

Hey folks, My name is Mariana, and Im from Colombia. I have been in Canada for the last 5 years.

I consider my self as a sassy, lovely, funny, empathetic insightful person, pretty independent but who loves to share, support and care about others.

My hobbies includes been a social butterfly, painting, learning about human behaviour, traveling, food, drinks and just exploring and having new experiences in general.
Ahh… and fashion. I love the whole concept of communicating your identity and believes as a statement with your style. ( back home my career was in the fashion industry 💅🏽💁🏽‍♀️)

By the way I’m a trans- woman. Please google it if you want, not really into educating people about my gender identity.

Im a social worker and manage a supportive housing program for high need and vulnerable people.
I believe that we all deserve respect and have access to the right resources and opportunities to succeed ( what ever that means for everyone) and that some sectors historically oppressed need extra care.
Im a full time social work student and work in social services with different types of organizations.

So thank you fro reading my profile and lets cheers this beautiful life!!
