As you can see from the picture, I am a pretty outgoing and energetic person. I am very excited this year to use up all that energy and bring new things to Adelante! Among those things, is a change of focus from solely domestic latino issues to both domestic Latinos and international Latin Americans. I think that it is very important to be able to address both issues equally since both communities are so deeply ingrained in the same roots.

Well, about me... I have lived abroad most of my life. Due to my father´s job, I have lived in Miami, Korea, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Venezuela. I am excited to be at Macalester and hopefully make an impact on the community of color. I am interested in health professions and eventually will go to Medical school to be an emergency room physician.

I look forward to participating in this and other cultural organizations with you.
