ABOUT ME

I came to New Haven for school but am staying for the people and because it is beautiful here. I like this town a lot and have learned to call it home. Now that school is out of the way I am letting the learning start. I am passionate about the environment, social justice, sustainable development, urban issues, and dance.

Music, Movies, and Books

my favorite book is what is the what by dave eggers. I am currently reading How We Are Hungry by Eggers too.
music: Led Zeppelin, The Beatles are fairly representative of my usual cravings. Also, middle eastern percussion, jazz, bluegrass, y bailables.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people the very basics of gymnastics: handstands, cartwheels, back and front-flips. I am a native Spanish speaker, and I also know where all the countries in Africa are on a map.
