Summary
I was born in Guatemala but was brought to Colorado when I was five months, where I have been living for almost seventeen years. I am currently nearing my final year at school, which is a boarding school back east.
I am a FIS level ski racer and also have extensive outdoor experience. I am seeking a summer employment position that will help me apply my current skills while also acquiring new skills, as well as working with new people.
