CURRENT MISSION

Working at an International Organization in Washington DC

ABOUT ME

I was born in Colombia and work at an international organisation in Washington. I lived in Paris, Bogota, Princeton, NYC, San Francisco, Caracas and on a yacht in Monaco (one of these is not true..haha).

I am passionate about cultural diversity and very engaged in local and global affairs. I enjoy a good conversation, a picnic, a good movie, a soccer match (watch or play) a bike ride. I love dancing afro-Caribbean music (Salsa, Zouk, reggae, merengue... etc).

PHILOSOPHY

One world, one heart.... :P
