About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discovering, and learning and learning!

ABOUT ME

I'm half Colombian and half French. I was raised in Bogota, Colombia and I attended the French school. I grew up with both countries and culture so I'm a funny mix of both.
I studiedPhysics and Computing Engineering in Bogota, and I went in a sabatical year (2013-2014) practicing my Japanese in Kyoto and Tokyo, in Japan.
I did in an internship in Fermilab, in Batavia, Illinois during this 2015 summer, great experience!
I finished my studies in Bogota and came to Lausanne, Switzerland to complete a Master in Computational Science and Engineering at École Polythecnique de Lausanne.

I like to have fun in general, discover new things, going to new places, trying new food and drinks. I enjoy sports in general too. I play basketball and did some athletism too. Ping Pong is very fun too. I play the piano too, I love it though I'm not very good. I like also to play chess.
I like also to hike and camp in the nature, it's a feeling of nature, freedom and phylosophy all at the same time!

I enjoy good beer, ice cream, bananas and chocolate and tons of other foods.

Well, whoever you are it would be my pleasure to meet you!

PHILOSOPHY

I guess being patient and listening to everyone is a good way to live!
