About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to be an archivist.

ABOUT ME

I live in Mexico City, where I study Literature (Comparatively) at the UNAM. It is important to me to have more creative interaction with people and the world. Another goal is to learn to perform like June Carter. Country music empassions me. I know how to cook Malaysian Curry, exquisite vegan salads and most any kind of pancake you can imagine.
